Exhaustion and Imagination

I just spent the day babysitting my 3-year-old grandson. He is an absolute doll to be with (I know, grandma talk), but I find I no longer have the energy to keep up with him for a full day. But the imagination of a child is something to be envied. We played with blocks and "Tinker Toys" and colored and played with letters and shapes (he knows what a hexagon and octagon are! I'm not sure I know what they are now!). We watched Sesame Street and played with toy figures and cars and built roads....

We had fun, but I am ready to get back to my own imagination. :) No progress on anything today except loving a child - and that's way more important than writing words on a piece of paper (or a screen).

So here's to some progress tomorrow.

Or maybe I'll get out my Play Doh and let my imagination take flight. :)

Tips and Teasers: Write a one-line sentence that describes what you would like to accomplish as a writer in the next five years. Be specific – and realistic.

Thought for the day: "To write a book is a task needing only pen, ink and paper; to print a book is rather more difficult, because genius often expresses itself illegibly; to read a book is more difficult still, for one has to struggle with sleep; but to sell a book is the most difficult task of all." - Frank Mumny
