Still chasing...

I guess you see that the old guy above has become my support (along with my Christopher) as I race through the picture book marathon. I figure if he can do it, why can't I. I mean, look at him. He's old, yet he's giving it his all. Check out his face. I have longed for that look on my face. And when I looked in the mirror this AM, guess what? I saw that same determination in my eyes. That same grit in my face.

My mind has been in a fuzzy blur, lo, these many marathon days. Ideas are there, words are in the computer, fingers ache from typing, head pounds, but. I realized this morning, I'm deliriously happy. Giddy, if you will.  Why? You ask.

Because I am in a fuzzy blur, ideas are there, words are in the computer, fingers ache from typing, and my head pounds. Battle scars.

At one point this week, I thought, HOW CAN I POSSIBLY GET ONE MORE PICTURE BOOK OUTTA MY HEAD?? After scratching said head for a little while, I realized one VERY important thing. They're not coming so much from my head, but from my heart. Ah, novel idea.

It was then that I squeezed out more ideas and more little stories. There's even a fantasy picture book in the mix. Yep. Me. And. The. Old. Dude. We're on the same page now. <3
