Oh, how I love this post by Dean Wesley Smith! It’s a rerun, and it’s worth rereading at least…

Ack! I see snow in my last blog entry--must get a new blog entry. Okay, so I could do a blog with lots of rain images, and how the rain makes our creative spirits grow, but right now, today, at 3:42 this lovely Tuesday afternoon, the sun is shining, and my red tulips in the front yard are just starting to peek out. (The brave white ones bloomed two days ago, even in the rain.)
So that is how it is with our writing too--some of the stories just huddle away in the quiet parts of our hearts until the sun shines on them enough to open them up to our conscious. But some of our best stories open out and flourish in the rain, even sometimes in the storms of life.
It's a good thing to remember for those of us who live in the Pacific Northwest!
May your stories bloom this week, both in the sunshine and in the rain.
Looking forward to seeing many of you at one of our favorite Story Blooming spots, the SCBWI conference in Redmond Town Center. Just three days to go!

Looking forward to the conference too. It was fun seeing you and meeting your daughter at the social hour tonight. I am feeding my conference excitement by surfing SCBWI WWa blogs before bed. See you tomorrow.
Cheers,
