I found this on Kyra Starr Author Services today and it made me think of all the silly author photos I’ve taken over the years. Every photo I would look at it and debate… do I look serious enough…too serious…maybe more whimsical than serious…and really, there is no perfect author photo.
Writers become writers by writing. There is no other way to do it. The most perfect author photo in the world will not create one word. The only way to do it is sit the butt in the chair and do it. Like Faulkner said, “Don’t be a ‘writer.’ Be writing.” Here’s to accomplishing great words today.
But after they are written… try some of these great poses on your break.
Hilarious! Captions on images. I agree, hard to decide –some females nowadays play with light and dark and pose mysterious, sexy close-ups of big eyes and lips with black lipstick, most of their faces in shadow. I’m a bit too old for that. I wouldn’t have done it when younger either. That’s just not me. Maybe I’ll pose with a globe of the world and my hand on the meridian next time?
I kind of liked the cat pose, but maybe I’d substitute a swarm of chupacabras for kittens.
