Question
Hello, Mark

   I'm creating a treasure map of every-
thing and every effort I want to accom-
plish in my life. One of them in to do more
writing. I want to acquire pictures of an
author writing at his desk. I have typed in
lines to search the Internet, such as: "an
author penning his material" or "a writer
at his desk". I get some strange results.
I know this might not be your forte but I
wanted to give it a try. Can you recom-
mend some phrases to try or some websites
to go to? I'll return to ask you some
specific questions about writing.

   Thanks,

          Lee

Answer
Hi, Lee,

Not sure this will work, but I think I would just do an image search for the word "author." First, though, try this link and see if it works for you: http://www.theonion.com/content/files/images/Author.jpg

Good luck with this and with your writing.
