As someone who has many non-native-English-speakers in my life but who speak English better than many native English speakers I know, this was too funny not to share.

This is an image I found on tumblr. I liked it immediately. I have a strange pet peeve where I just dislike movie adaptation covers for books. I prefer the ‘original’ covers (but there are so many editions these days that ‘original’ doesn’t really exist). Either way, I’ll buy any cover BUT the movie adaptation one. I think it feels cheap to me in some way. I feel like I’m buying the book because it reminds me of the movie. Which… feels a little bit like I’m betraying the literary world.
When I buy a book I want to buy the book, as it is. Somehow, if I buy the book with the movie adaptation cover I feel like I’m supporting the movie adaptation rather than the original novel. Strange, I know, but does anyone else share my pet peeve?
Yay or nay to movie adaptation book covers?

Posted in Ermisenda, Picture it & Write!
Since I love writing and I hope you do too I felt like starting something new on our blog. I will post an image I find inspiring in some way and will write the first fiction introductory paragraph to accompany the image that comes to mind with me. I like doing exercises like this, it keeps my mind fresh and the creative juices flowing.
I urge people to join in, comment with your paragraph of fiction to accompany the image. It doesn’t have to follow my story or reflect the same themes. It can be a poem or in a different language. Anyone who wants to join in, is welcome. This photograph has been reblogged under Ermisenda on tumblr.
Picture it & write
My jaw chattered like it had a life of its own. I couldn’t feel the tips of my fingers or the soles of my feet. Fragile twigs snapped silently as I ran. White plumes blurred my vision as I desperately breathed out and sucked in the chilling air. All I knew was that I had to keep running. If I could just out run it all, it would disappear. The crippling memories would release me and I could forget all I had done. I would be free. If I kept running, maybe I could escape from myself.

You can spot Ermisenda on tumblr! I’m spreading the word of inspiration, art and writing. I am enjoying psychology but there is only so much science I can handle before I need to be flooded with art and words. Tumblr is great for that and my addiction to art has been cured. There are some great poems to find there too.
Follow us for some fantastic inspiration!
P.S. A recent find on tumblr… ❤ (you can find it on my account reblogged)
I hate Jersey Shore. (As a friend once described to me: ‘I can just hear my brain cells free falling from my ear when I watch it.’)
Another fighter against book suicide…
