Some Days You Wish That All You Could Do Is Write

There are some days where you wish all that you could do would be to write...today is one of those days. The ideas lay just beneath the surface, if only you could stay home and make them come to life. But, you need to get ready for your "for real job" - yes, you don't have the pleasure of just sitting down at the computer and get all of those wonderful creative ideas for Penelope's new adventure down on paper.

Some days the characters just speak to you, how will the next adventure begin? What challenge will the Fearless Five face? What time of year will it be? Will the children be in school? So, many questions - and the answers are there - all you need is time to flesh them out...

But, I do what I imagine a lot of writers do - grab a pad of paper and pen or pencil and just jot everything down as you sit in traffic on your way to work, or maybe as you quickly eat your breakfast. Not really glamorous, but that's sometimes how your work comes to life - in bits and pieces, scribbled on small tiny pieces of paper on your way to your "for real job".
