Writing Wrongs

June 15, 2005

Today, on the way to daycare, Andrew offered up some publishing advice:

Mommy, you just got to make friends with the publishers and send them lots of good ideas. Then they�ll publish your books.

Aha! Networking 101 from an almost-nine-year-old. It�s not what you know . . .

And then there was this:

Or maybe if they�re drunk and crazy . . .

This seems to be the more likely scenario in my case.

Then he and Kyra started their Darth Vader breathing. They�ve both mastered the little hitch between the breath in and the breath out. It�s a little unnerving to drive on the freeway with two mini Darths panting down your neck. Then Andrew implores his sister: �Rise, Kyra! Rise!� and I have to tell him to stop turning his sister to the dark side. This always makes him giggle.

Note: The transition from publishing to Darth Vader/dark side should not be construed as publishing = the dark side. Not in the least. I don�t believe that at all. Really.
