A PAINTING MY BLUEBERRIES MADE, BEFORE I ATE THEM

Looks like of like something Laurelines would do, don't it? Except she does her pictures on purpose, as far as I know. Whereas blueberries paint accidentally and probably somewhat reluctantly. Nevertheless, they do nice work.
I see now that I wrote "like of like" in that first sentence, instead of "kind of like". "Like of like" makes no sense whatsoever. It too is an accident, although not a happy one, just a dumb one. That's one difference between painting and writing right there: painting thrives on accidents and what you make of them. I highly doubt that a writer looks at a typo and is inspired by it, leaves it in to enrich their writing. Unless it's a funny typo, like "poop" instead of "pool". I would leave that in.

There's a very popular book in fine art photography circles at the moment made up of photos a woman made of leaves in her back yard. LEAVES, for chrissakes! They're not even very interesting leaves. By her standards, you should be getting a MacArthur grant for your ongoing documentation of grass growing beside the sidewalk.
Just another service from Dr. Research.

And Dr. Research has a good point - when your own personal creative juices are running dry, you could turn to the juice of blueberries - or any other seasonal fruit.
