Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

"I think we have come to find out that the Education system, run by Liberal Hippies that really couldn't find any other job that allowed them so much time off, the ability to do drugs, and to spout their rhetoric is alive and well. It is teaching out kids things like 'Abortion is Good,' 'Government is Bad.' We have educators that, for the most part, don't teach to the subject, they teach to their beliefs. It is really sad, and even sadder when you see highly intelligent children buying into it." --Kelli

I’m learning that the writing process, for me, involves a lot of thinking, but not a lot of writing. I imagine ideas cooking in my head. Sometimes I feel like the pot will boil over.
I’m also finding inspiration in unexpected places. It’s not a new phenomenon to me, but it’s always enjoyable. Little insignificant details are popping up in my characters’ personalities. Although I care about them, I can’t imagine anyone else would.
I wonder if I’m overthinking things, if I’m cooking things too long. I get new ideas daily. Usually, they’re very small ideas, but I always feel like I’ve found something big. Maybe my addiction to those eureka moments are preventing me from taking the next step. Or maybe all this thinking is a good thing.
Or maybe all this thinking and writing about thinking and writing is exhausting.
It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
