Time to Play = More Creative Work

If, like me, you sometimes beat yourself up about not having enough time and not working on enough writing projects, you need to see this video (Creativity Requires Time)

Here's a great quote from the video: "creativity is not inspired by the pressure of time, but by the freedom, the playfulness and the fun!"

I hope you make some time to play with your writing this weekend.

International Dot Day!!

I don't usually post on weekends, but I couldn't miss International Dot Day. It's today! Yay! International Dot Day was inspired by this book:

I scribbled a few dots of my own in my writing notebook. Thinking about the story of The Dot and taking a few minutes to draw my own dots reminded me:

• how important it is to play, even for adults (maybe especially for adults)

• my notebook is my space where I'm free to make whatever kinds of marks I want -- lines, doodles, drawings, words, stories...whatever!

 Did you draw a dot today?
