Hey, if you’re a writer, there are THREE articles here for you. And nine for everybody else.

• Design so beautiful you’ll want to live here.
• Like dogs and horses? Then you’ll love this Instagram account.
• For the fiction writers: tips from Margie Lawson.
• Sculptures made from zip-ties.
• An artist celebrates her pregnancy.
• Does your writing routine (or any creative practice) need a refresh? Go outside.
• Do you like sunflowers? Here’s a bunch of ‘em.
• Interesting street art.
• Why writers should just do it and get it over with. (Sensitivity alert: there is a metaphor in this article that may be offensive to some people and may be an anxiety trigger for others.

• Chimneys used to be a much bigger deal than they are today.
