Writing

When I was in college I wrote all the time. I kept a journal, I would write for the paper, and I even became editor of the college paper. I loved writing. Then something happened...life. I forgot how much I enjoy writing and creativity. And stopped keeping my journal, stopped drawing, stopped using my imagination with any frequency.

I'm working at getting back in touch with my creative self. Since starting along this path two months ago, I've found myself writing more frequently. I was even inspired to imagine and write a short-story, children's book called "The Adventures of the Prince and the Princess of Gimleston". Now doesn't that sound fun? It was. I took the contents of a dream, enhanced it, then recorded it. I spent a couple of weeks tweaking the story.

Then I found a website Lulu where I can self-publish the book. So, for Christmas my niece and nephew are receiving books, written by me. The story definitely needs work and depth, but it was so much fun to put my first thoughts together, I just had to share it. Consider it shared.

Now, may I suggest to all of you who are equally creative, spend some time playing and engaging your creativity. The rewards are worth it.
