Fanwork Notes

For the Book By Its Cover challenge, I chose this one for my prompt:

Book cover titled "How To Swim" showing an illustration of a person swimming in the sea.

Also inspired by the TSFW prompt "New Beginnings" with the formal challenge being "alliterative verse". (Which I'm loosely interpreting to include prose.)

That makes me happy to hear! Pictures are for looking at and getting lost in so I'm delighted it brought you some meditative calm, and I hope you enjoyed your swim afterwards!

(Truth be told, I kept coming back to look at this picture too. It's a composite of two of my night photos, but I particularly like the way the glow of the words sits on the water, which was just one of those serendipitous things that happen in the process of creating. It doesn't look as good without them!)
