inspiration!

Inspiration can come from any where or any thing I always say you just have to be open and observant to your surroundings. But this past week I was struck with inspiration and I did not know from where it came, but came it did, and I was obsessed with writing a poem. Something that I have rarely attempted.

I recently finished up one project and was moving on to try and wrap up a second when, well the best way I can describe it is, a muse sat down on my shoulder, and wouldn't leave, then said, "Do this instead." Well I started writing a poem for one of my holiday books and I could not stop until it was finished. Fully edited as well! I am so excited about it! More than I have been about any project in a long time. I think it is some of my best work to date. I finished the photo illustrations for this book several months back and now have the words to join them, and it is a perfect union. I have made the final selections of photos for this project as well. Now I start to try and find a publisher that this book will be perfect for, but more about that in my next blog.

I simply wanted to share my excitement about this holiday book with you, and hope aloud that that muse visits me again. It was a truly unique experience. I have heard of the actors high, and experienced it once many years ago when I was still doing theater. The actors high is when the character that an actor is playing takes over the performance and does it effortlessly. But I am not sure if there is such a thing as a writers high? If there is I may have experienced it this past week. I look forward to sharing this new children's book with you all very soon.

Good luck and keep writing.
