| Meet Prewitt W. Possum, one of my favorite characters and the star of my new manuscript. |
Now that the stress of planning our 2013 family reunion has dissipated and the event is behind us, my mind is clear and open for the task of writing my next children's book. I began it last fall, nearly a year ago. But the holidays, home projects, and our family reunion occupied my mind and soul. Now, however, the creative juices are flowing. In addition to allowing the next book in the Hubbleville series take shape, I must heed other callings. There are several other writing projects chomping at the bit for me to be released through my mind and fingers. Several ideas, currently existing as notes scratched on notepads and dry erase ink on my whiteboard, long to make their debut onto the white screen of my laptop.
I should probably sweep the floors and wash the not-dishwasher-safe dishes piling up in my sink. But Prewitt W. Possum keeps pulling me back to my computer, nagging me to write his story. He is frustrated by his waning enthusiasm for writing. But as the writer, editor, and publisher of the only newspaper in Hubbleville, he really has no choice but to rediscover his passion. Meanwhile, he has just discovered something in the park on his way home from dinner at the Country Café with Mr. Frogson. Meanwhile, Mr. Turtle just happened by, so the floors and dishes will have to wait until Mr. Possum and Mr. Turtle figure out the identity of the curious object nestled in the tree.
