On Saturday I was scheduled to attend a talk with the art director of a children’s book publisher but unfortunately her car broke down on the way to Sacramento and I was already halfway to the location. 

Not willing to accept defeat after finally attending a writer’s event after eleven years, I made a conscious decision not to go home and do what I normally do on a rainy day (watch movies, take a nap, not necessarily in that order); I went to look for writing inspiration at the library and at the bookstore. 

I found it.

I am writing again and am so excited to see where the story takes me. I will definitely share more details once I am more comfortable but in the meantime, enjoy this picture of the rain.
