As Meredith finishes up her book, eking out the last of her inspiration (and perspiration), I found this delightful short animation called The Danish Poet that won an Oscar in 2007. It's narrated by Liv Ullmann. From You Tube:
...we follow Kasper, a poet whose creative well has run dry, on a holiday to Norway to meet the famous writer, Sigrid Undset. As Kasper's quest for inspiration unfolds, it appears that a spell of bad weather, an angry dog, slippery barn planks, a careless postman, hungry goats and other seemingly unrelated factors might play important roles in the big scheme of things after all.
If you 've never been around an author finishing up a book, perhaps you'll enjoy the film for its clever animation and delightful humor. If you have - or if you are a writer, you'll thoroughly enjoy the message that those who think their creative well has run dry are oh so wrong :)
