I haven't felt a need to get motivated to write for a long time now.
But I do feel the occasional push to be more creative.
I went to borrow some dvds (BBC usually) from the local library
when in the section of "books for sale" I saw a number of the
"Amelia" books by Melissa Moss. Has anyone else seen them?
They're ADORABLE. The format is like a little girl's journal...
a black and white composition book where she writes and draws
things about her life, comics, humor.
If you go on amazon and look up "Melissa Moss Amelia" they'll
come up (apparently several books now) and you can "search
inside" to see what I mean.
The library was selling them (someone had donated 7 of the books)
for $1 - $3 each. I grabbed all they had intending them for
my daughter. But, I found them absolutely delightful.
They remind me of _The Moonlight Chronicles_ by Dan Price
or works by Danny Gregory but somehow because they look like
they've been written/drawn in by a (very precocious) child,
it seems more... freeing? I'm not as intimidated?
