I spoke to my youngest nephew yesterday. He asked if I was a writer. I said yes and he said, "I am too!"
He went on to tell me about the stories he started writing. His excitement had him talking so fast I couldn't catch everything he was saying. Soon my words were coming fast too as we talked about what he was writing.
His dad joked that we were a bunch of nerds and we laughed. I told my nephew that we are the best of nerds. We are the creator of worlds. He loved that.
Hearing that new found excitement for creating stories was exactly what I needed. I'd been struggling to finish up my manuscript edits. I'd lost motivation the past week. I had to drag myself to my laptop each day when I use to run to it.
You never know where you'll find inspiration to keep going!
