Collage Fun

On her webpage, Jennifer Cruise discusses the benefits of doing a collage for writing a novel - and also shares pictures of her collages.

This is inspirational pre-writing, not an art project, so it can be as minimal and as sloppy as you want. Barbara and I love messing with paper and glue and paint, so we'll build a working model of a steam engine given the chance. But if you can get the look and feel of your book by gluing half a dozen pictures together on newsprint, you'll be ready to write while we're still cutting and pasting.


So, I did my own collage, something that for me evokes the feeling of attending clown conventions:
