november 2012 wild ink wild ink musings about nature art books and writing archive for november 2012 inspired by fall leaves and history november 23 2012 i thought i d share a glimpse into the wonderful writing retreat i experienced last month at spark box studio near picton ontario with funding gratefully received from the canada council a whole week without distractions focusing on the craft of writing historical picture books i was particularly interested in exploring the question how do i take a huge topic such as the war of 1812 and hone in on a small story suitable for children to help me get on the right footing for my retreat i stopped in toronto beforehand to meet with children s book author monica kulling for a thoughtful and inspiring discussion about writing historical stories for children her latest book lumpito and the painter from spain about a little dog who touched the life of pablo picasso was hot off the press and provided a great example i love the dog illustrated by dean griffiths next i took a side trip to soak up some war of 1812 history and watch the reenactment of the battle of queenston heights near niagara falls the boom of cannons smell of smoke calls of the soldiers costumes of the military and civilian reenactors and the cool damp fall day helped to cast a spell that opened a window into the past at spark box studio i started each day with a solitary walk between farmers fields the empty fields subdued colours and the whispers and rustles of leaves and grasses that followed me as i walked made it easy to imagine a young girl two hundred years in the past standing on the edge of a field hearing the distant boom of cannon and cracks of musket fire i felt like i was walking with one foot in the present and one in the past as i wrote these haiku autumn wind on the lonely path many voices whispering grasses the words always out of reach while it was great to have so much time to myself to think and write talking with the creative hosts and other guests at spark box studio was also enriching and despite that last haiku the words weren t out of reach i finished the first draft of a picture book story and concluded the retreat feeling buoyed in spirit recharged and reinspired to continue writing tags autumn haiku history picture books war of 1812 posted in haiku history kidlit nature travel writing process leave a comment why wild ink i m a writer and artist living on the westcoast of canada i m constantly intrigued and inspired by the little things in the world around me that aren t always expected or supposed to be there crows coyotes weeds graffiti art things that often creep in under the city s radar i ll share some thoughts ideas and images and hope someone out there finds something in them to connect to in wildness is the preservation of the world henry david thoreau pages about me my books twitter updates tweets by jacquieink recent posts vintage christmas first posted in 2008 a train ticket and a kid friendly poem in your pocket talking to kids about animal needs sharing a train window choo choo ku is on the way archives december 2024 april 2022 february 2022 march 2021 april 2020 march 2020 march 2018 november 2017 february 2017 december 2016 july 2016 january 2016 december 2015 september 2015 february 2015 october 2014 september 2014 august 2014 june 2014 january 2014 december 2013 july 2013 june 2013 may 2013 april 2013 february 2013 january 2013 november 2012 july 2012 june 2012 may 2012 april 2012 march 2012 february 2012 december 2011 october 2011 august 2011 may 2011 april 2011 march 2011 february 2011 december 2010 november 2010 october 2010 july 2010 june 2010 april 2010 march 2010 february 2010 december 2009 november 2009 september 2009 july 2009 june 2009 may 2009 april 2009 march 2009 february 2009 january 2009 december 2008 november 2008 october 2008 september 2008 august 2008 july 2008 june 2008 may 2008 april 2008 march 2008 february 2008 january 2008 december 2007 november 2007 october 2007 september 2007 august 2007 july 2007 june 2007 may 2007 april 2007 march 2007 february 2007 january 2007 december 2006 november 2006 blogroll a my new web site children s book writers and illustrators of bc crafty green poet dinah galloway mysteries inkonwove la marguerite scribble city central true stitches watermark crows wildlife rescue world changing in wildness is the preservation of the world henry david thoreau november 2012 m t w t f s s 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 jul jan search entries rss and comments rss subscribe subscribed wild ink join 59 other subscribers sign me up already have a wordpress com account log in now privacy wild ink subscribe subscribed sign up log in report this content view site in reader manage subscriptions collapse this bar loading comments write a comment email required name required website
