Thanks! I also totally find myself guilty of capturing the moment with a camera instead of enjoying it in the moment, and I think it’s always a good reminder to be here, now.
I am not an expert and do not know the semantics on this, so feel free not to trust me, but I think it might vary depending on who you're publishing with or if you're self-publishing. I would probably inquire with the company before doing anything.
I wrote a poem titled 'last day of school' recently and recited it at my school graduation assembly in June. That whole poem is very vulnerable to me, especially because of the fact that I wrote it on a whim and ended up making all of my teachers cry. (it's on ywp so if you want to see what I'm talking about you can read it! :D)
UGGH YES i am in the same position right now! writer's block is the worst and it gets us writers so regularly. i listen to music, comb the internet for good prompts (the results aren't great, but Reedsy has some good ones), and try to stop thinking about writing something great, instead focus on developing ideas and stories i already have. hope you get out of the block soon!!
The angle from which the picture is taken makes me feel like a little kid looking up at the swings. Your image shows how perspective can change so much depending on how the photo is taken.
I like visual writing too! Strong imagery makes the story more interesting, and at times the novel reads like poetry. I can tell that Fitzgerald was intentional with his word choice and style.

yeah I think because your characters seem hurried and scared they wouldn't worry about spelling but you do what you think
The latest chapters have been so awesome, keep writing!!!

Despite everything I just wrote in my last comment to you, on your fireworks/phone photo drawing... this is still a spectacular picture!
