Often, I find myself jotting down ideas for stories. Sometimes I just get a title in my head and that is it. The real pleasure comes from listening to my five year old read to me his stories. He wants to write books like his mom. It's such a great learning experience for me as a writer because I get to hear how a child talks and reacts to the story. I get to sharpen my skills as a writer and strengthen my imagination. Quentin isn't easily won over by buggers, bugs or monsters. I have to be creative and keep his attention once I capture it. Quentin represents a significant percentage of my audience, so I have to step it up. There is a lot to learn in the literary world, I've just begun.
