Sidetracked

You know when you become so focused on trying to complete one task that another, totally unrelated thing pops into your head. Well, that is what happened to me yesterday. I have been so focused on a new writing project, trying to tie in all the bits and pieces I have written over the past months, that my mind wandered. To be honest, my current project used to be the project I would turn to when I needed a distraction from my other works in progress.

Anyway, I am getting sidetracked, which isn't hard for me. Oh, look a butterfly!

While walking with my dog, I had this wonderful idea of writing not one, but two different children's book series. Pictures and plots danced in my head with every step that I took. One series would be set in space and the other in a far off land. It is never too early to get kids hooked on science fiction and fantasy books.

As I write this, I have three first drafts finished and more ideas written down. Nothing may come of them, but it is a nice thought to have that maybe you could write a book to influence kids to embrace science and imagination.
