Remember as a kid when you'd wake up Saturday morning feeling inspired and creative and write a story in your journal with gel pens and you just couldn't wait to show your parents? I miss that. This season of my life with foster kids is so beautiful and forcing myself to finish pages has made writing feel like work, a chore. I want to write because I'm excited about a story, or a character, or a scene. So for today, I'm taking a break from hustling in the stolen moments, and I'm just going to live in this moment.
