That was a busy year for me. :o)<br /><br />Ref: getting in the mood<br /><br />I hate those periods when nothing comes out. But I know what you mean about something reigniting the spirit. For me, it's movie trailers. I don't know why. Something about those startling bits of teaser that puts my brain into overdrive.Maria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.com
