You know, I looked for you on Amazon Canada and no success. My library doesn't have you either. Sigh. Might have to look for you through the publisher! You know I don't know when I "ran into" your blog. I usually just read quilting blogs cause that's my creative outlet! Anyway, have a happy day. I look forward to reading some of your work when it becomes available! Linda Hi Mina

It's a bit weird 'talking' into cyberspace at times. I always wonder if there's anybody out there (Woah, that sounded a bit x-fileys there, didn't it?) I'm a fan of any kind of artistic / creative process and firmly believe all kids (and adults) have it in them, they just need to find what fires their creative instinct. For me that's writing and, as a later discovery, digital artwork. For my daughter, she just loves drawing so I'm doing my best to nurture that creativity. For me, there's nothing sadder than hearing someone say, 'I'm terrible at that. I never tried it before'. Arrrrgh *head-desk* /endrant Over the pond? Where are you (countrywise, not street obviously!) in the world? M xx :D Great to hear from you Linda and I’m glad you like the blog! It’s a bit weird ‘talking’ into cyberspace at times.

Just a quick point--I think the creative process is very similar whether you're writing, quilting or whatever else. I taught English for quite a while but my true love is quilting and the teaching thereof. The same questions come up for quilting that do for writing! When I was teaching, I discovered that kids who hated writing (whodda thunk it?) still enjoyed the creative process in other endeavours--even building leggo! On another note--as a BBW I love the looks of the new book. I'll have to see if I can find it over the pond! Lurking Linda I love reading your blog.
