A few years ago, I met a chef and asked him, "So, bay leaves? Do they even have a point? You can't taste them. You have to take them out. They seem to get in the way."
He shook his head and said, "Nah, it's the opposite.”
"Wait, what?" I asked.
"They're the invisible heroes of the culinary arts. Bay leaves won't give you a distinct flavor. They don't stand out. It can be so subtle you don't even detect it. But what they do is offer depth. They're a small thing that makes a big difference. They're working behind the scenes to amplify everything else. Trust me, they're a big deal."
It has me wondering . . . what are the bay leaves of education? What are the small strategies that seem almost invisible but have a major impact?
Day 9 for #fantasyindiesaugust is another Moodboard Monday, and I’m going to re-share my board of original abstract water photos taken in my neighborhood in Washington, DC for The Living Waters (October 15), to show the ethereal watery vibe.

just took my pug on the subway in a tote bag. he delicately licked the elbow of the woman standing in front of me, who then let out easily the most blood-curdling scream i have ever heard in my life
@Paul_MS0 I would say I’m pretty similar. I consider myself “multi-genre” and often don’t worry about which genre a story is when writing, but I feel like there are certain themes and concepts that always shine through regardless of whichever genre a story ultimately falls in.
