Writing inspiration and the Joy of Children

i love kids!
Kids are amazing, they see things that ordinary people cannot. I find it sad that I am slowly drifting away from the state of pure innocence. Me, an adolescent, becoming an adult. Sigh.
Oh well, we all must get old and leave neverland, though we may never leave it in our hearts.

The reason that i'm saying this is because last weekend i was writing in the park. It's winter so it's cold, and I'm under the picnic shelter, the sky is blue, the sledding hill is right next door to the picnic shelter and I heard a lot of children merrily playing. One went to the bathroom (which is by the picnic shelter) and he walked past me. He curiously asked me what I was writing, and i was like "oh, poetry, i'm a writer" he asked me to read him a poem or two and he thought it was so good he brought his friends over to hear it!
he and his friends were all in the third grade! They were so nice! they totally said I should publish my work!


This excited me very much. :D


SO I'VE DECIDED TO DO SO! I WILL GATHER MY POEMS AND CREATE A BOOK! AND GET IT PUBLISHED!


:D hooray!
This kid inspired me, so i'd like to thank him!
he also was friends with kids I babysit, and he lived near my house, so that was cool too.


Also, I'm reading some of my poetry and prose at a coffeehouse benefit for Haiti Wednesday, and that should go well.
My poetry readings have been met with enthusiasm in the past.


A Bientot! (in french, till next time!)
