We were off camping on the coast this week. It was the inaugural trip for our 18 month old. She loved it. Today we will decompress and wash the sand from the sleeping bags.
Often, when I’m deep in a writing project I can’t stop thinking of other projects that have nothing to do with writing. I have big urges to sew, plant, paint- create! And the new writing projects- oh, the writing projects! I have picture books, more middle grade novels, fantasies- all waiting impatiently for me to start writing them. Should I start writing these stories before my brain loses them, or stick to my revisions? Procrastination tactics or creative juices? Psyche, be kind.

We all know you’re Superwoman–we have the picture to prove it!
Yes, I do the same thing. Nothing like a serious project (or deadline) to make me suddenly think I’d like to paint a picture, write a poem, beat the rugs, clean the woodwork with a toothbrush, you name it…
We were camping this week too. Yay for camping! We’ll have to compare our favorite family spots. We LOVE Deception Pass State Park.
