Okay, so it wasn't long ago... it was last night... *technically it was early this morning, but that is debatable* and it wasn't in a land far away, it was in my front room sitting at the computer.

But, the point is that "Long ago" and "In a land far away" mean happy things, and that is what I had last night as I worked on a chapter in one of my books. (I currently have 4 in the works... 5 if you count one containing fewer than 4 paragraphs, but it's more of a blurb right now.)

I forget how energizing writing is for me. It is one of the elements that breathes life into an otherwise unmotivated and frustrated body and mind. After pouring over some posts from a writer friend of mine, I realized just how important it is for me to get some reading and writing time in every day. *If you would have told me as a child that those words would come out of my mouth as an adult, I'd have laughed you to scorn.* I'm confident it will transform me from a mean old lazy villainous family participant into a much more productive, happier and nicer, mommy/wife heroine.

And who doesn't want that? Oh, yeah... the dishwasher, the laundry basket, the bathroom toilets...

Love and Hugs~
