CREATIVE INPUT: One Door Closes, Another Door Opens

This is the end of this blog. Or at least a long break.

It's hard to post about creative projects several times a week.

and a good blog needs to be fed more than I can manage.

I have a job

and sometimes that leads

to a creative post

and I have a family. Although my children a lot older than my school children - life can still get busy! And my favorite hobby of quilt making takes a long time!

And the biggest reason for ending this blog? I have written several children's books -

and I want to get published!

I have read an article about a book titled "Five Pages a day: A Writer's Journey" by Peg Kehret. In her book she advises writer's to start with just five minutes a day and this will eventually lead to five pages a day.

Discipline. Must write every day. So this blog must take a back seat to my ambition of being a published children's book author.

Am I still going to post something eye catching in the real world? Of course!

Am I still going to post when I swap out my hanging quilt in the living room?

Yes, here's March.

Am I still going to post when a recipe I made came out great

and a new decorating project or tip?

I am a creative person - I will have to post that too!

But with writing everyday - even as little as five minutes a day, I will be getting the discipline and exercise I need in addition to the fun projects
