Can You Find My Love?
As a psychotherapist I counsel adults daily who were never told as a child that they were loved. Couple that with the birth of my nephew's two new children and love became a theme for me. There is nothing like new life to make me inspired with love.
So as I was writing a love poem to my nephew's two children I began to realize that everyone needs to find love and so the children's series Can You Find My Love? birthed. Book 1 - Seasons and Book 2 - What we do Outside is just the beginning. I have 16 written and slowly they will find their way into your homes.
When inspiration hits it is easier to write but I can say without doubt that if I hadn't been in the habit of writing daily these books would have remained only a mere thought.
Write daily even if it is just about the weather. Good habits produce good results.

Things to Do Outside
Things to Do Outside is now in print and sitting on my table. I can't help the amazement I feel. It all happened seemingly fast.
The last thing I remember was sitting down to write a poem for my nephew's two little ones and then the thought came -- every child needs to feel loved -- and I called a man I know who started PublishPros.com and he liked the idea and then -- then -- I sat down and in a few weeks wrote 16 books. Book 2 is Things to Do Outside.
The series is titled Can You Find My Love? So, what is my point? My point is that as a writer no sparkle of inspiration can be denied, pushed to the back of your mind, neglected as not good enough. You must grab your pen and write it even if you do so on your napkin.
That is my one strong, earnest, and heartfelt message to everyone who has even a glimmer of a thought to write. Do it! NOW!
Keep the pen moving!
