The deep Blue Sea Tree.

I've done this sea theme on a green tree and it just didn't look right. But the same ornaments on a blue tree were perfect.

Writing: Nothing you write can be so precious that you're not willing to change it to improve your book. Early readers of my latest book felt that the same section didn't move as well as the rest of the novel. After some thought and a discussion with Jeanne, a fellow writer, I decided to remove a secondary character who only appears in the problematic section and revise, revise, until I get it right.
