Great Unplug Week

I hope that everyone had as great an unplug as I did. I got a lot done!*Whew* And I feel caught up. YAY!

During the week I was traveling on a country road near our house. It is a very well traveled country road. Lots of cars flying here and there. As I drove I noticed a turtle (this is the second time this has happened this summer) in the middle of road. Now Myrtle was traveling very slowly. So I pulled the van over and got out. There I stood. Hands out stopping traffic, so I could rescue Myrtle from certain catastrophe. She didn't seem to mind at all. The drivers that were stopped looked at me like I was crazy. I apologized as I waved them on. And it felt good. Myrtle had safely crossed the road and I could feel good about myself.

It got me to thinking that I should the write the picture book in my head. The one that's been lurking in my mind since the first turtle rescue, earlier this summer. Did I tell you about that one Beth?

So do you have any stories hiding out in your head that you feel only you can write?

What are they? Will you write the story? I think I will. :) Thanks for reading.

  3. Too many stories hide out i my cranium. I'm beginning to think it's a convention of sorts...

  5. Robyn, I want to hear more about the turtles. You should write that book! I've got a few stories that I plan to write sometime in my life, but that I don't feel ready to write at the moment. I think some stories just take a while surfacing, and if I try them too soon, they end up feeling less powerful than I want them to be. So, those are simmering on my back burner.

  6. Yeah Davin, the turtle story is simmering. I can't wait to write it. :)

    I have a lot of other stories too. Stories that MUST be told by me. But as you say, now is not the time. Soon though. Soon! :)

  7. Yay for getting caught up! I have lots of stories hiding out, just waiting to be written. Trouble is, there's only 24 hours in a day. Yay for turtle saving! That just emphasizes what an awesome person you are. :D

  9. There are too many stories, LOL. I wouldn't know where to start. I am really working toward sorting them out, though.
