Spring...

It's Spring... and that brings to mind blooms and blossoms, growth and gardening. I've been thinking about the growth and blooming that has been going on in my life - the fact that I'm trying to allow my creativity to blossom, encouraging growth and productivity. But then I realized something: there are some very destructive weeds and garden pests that need to be dealt with in order for me to truly grow. There are things in my life that have choked off my little seedlings time and time again. I need to deal with these things. Weed them out. Compost the heck out of them.

Reading

I'm reading a couple of books right now.

• Searching for God Knows What by Donald Miller
• Nine Things You Simply Must Do (to Succeed in Love and Life) by Dr. Henry Cloud

I'm supposed to make a point of reading more children's books especially for the age group and demographic that I'm interested in writing for. Seeing what's out there. I haven't read much lately - too much bloody time spent surfing the 'net and gathering information on becoming a children's author.
