I met the ghost of a warrior who protected his people for so long that he died before the day was finally saved.
He didn't know how live in such a peaceful world now, so I helped him start finding a new path. He now makes sure that the roads are safely traveled.

Not all ghosts linger due to malice, or unfinished business. More often you will find those who loved so fiercely, dedicated themselves so passionately to something that their spirit remains long after their body is gone. Whose ghost do you meet today?

I realized, today, that I really enjoy writing villains that are bad at their jobs. As in, pathetically bad at being evil, like Doofenschmirtz from Phineas and Ferb.😆

A surprise I got today: some people at the church I work at found out about my kidlit book publishing this month, and congratulated me after church service! 😆
A friend of the chairlady is part of a writers' group that I'd posted in about the book, and that's how they found out!

The thing is, you can sit at a piano for the first time and have fun. It's actually better without a teacher. Tickle the keys. Mess around and find whatever rhythm moves you.
Learning to enjoy expressing yourself--in music or in writing--is a great foundation for everything else.

I don't know what to tell you. You can't sit at a piano for the first time ever and play a sonata. You can't pick up a tennis racket for the first time and serve a 110MPH Ace.
You have to fuck up.
You have to be able to handle failing.
You have to love it enough to not get it right and keep on.

it's pretty dope writing, drawing, creating in general. using your human goods, your clumsy fingers, and forgetful distracted brain constantly dashing toward new ideas. doubting everything. freaking out. working through it. after all that, you end up with something only you could have possibly made.
