I did some editing, and a bit of writing, in my book chapter about the autistic 2-year-old I worked with at my friend's preschool a couple of years ago. I was able to make some really good strides with that child, and wanted to capture our story together. He's the little one I reached out to through music, and wound up discovering that he could count to ten as well.
I had not edited this chapter in about a month. Sometimes it is good to step back from ones writing and revisit it after awhile. @Just4Him might agree with me, but I don't want to put words in her mouth. I am really happy with this chapter, and could finish it tonight if I had a tomorrow deadline.
The funny thing is, having a book in progress "gives my life meaning." I almost DON'T want to finish it. Kind of like the speakers I work on. I enjoy the process as much as the product.
Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Have you done anything "productive" today?
Photo is of a little girl (probably in her teens now) I worked with in Oakland. She was my all time puzzle queen. There IS a chapter about her in my book.
