Boil up a kettle, Baba! I'm still pounding away at the keyboard!

Cheers LV101. Just did a google search for the original but no luck (yet).

I'm sorry Baba. The book needed a home. I couldn't leave it at the thrift shop.

I understand perfectly, Mrs. J!
I love the moonbeams, too, LV.
Boiling enough for all present, whether they are pounding at the keyboard or just waiting as an appreciative audience, Dear CoCo!
Some with extra milk, and some with a large serving of imagination.

doofdaddy -- hope you find and let us know. You might have to rewrite the poem and create into a story now that there's a demand!
mrs.jones -- yes the book needs a home.

Babayaga --- You are quite the hostess.
You gifted, talented, writers here could type the remainder of your life just off the true, survival, experiences on this board. I can imagine children's books about the bear/moonbeams and Coco's poems --- w/cathartic writings for hope/healing. I'll be your agent.

LOL! Actually I do write but more about my experiences post the JW experience. It's mainly for my children/grandchildren but the feedback has all been positive. About 20,000 words so far on a current project. A couple of minor things published nationally (via newspaper) in the past but I get lazy or distracted.

WOW --- doof, that's great! Would love to read. You're already an accomplished writer being published/congratulations!
It's difficult to stay focused and work is work. Try the 5 - 10 min. a day shrink trick and see if that works. My girlfriend finally completed her children's book w/this trick-e-poo and it ended up being in the top 3 ratings for books in that category and the woman who solo'd around the world in her airplane endorsed it, bla bla. The shrink's trick (off your butt rebuttal) trick is just take few min. starting tomorrow (not down the road when you have tons of time BUT don't overwhelm yourself here) only 5 - 15 min. to start and sit and think about writing or scribble something down then make a commitment the following day to not do more than this first day (this is crucial) but alittle bit less time maybe --- then 3rd day maybe the minimum again unless you just can't stop what you're doing. Do this until you get the synaps chargin. I've been trying this w/my painting and (well, let's just say I need to start over week to week). Otherwise we don't set aside the time and time is such a thief and it's always tomorrow. Story of my life but I'm working on this - OMG!
Your children/grandchildren are fortunate to have/learn from your experience as well as who knows how many other innocent, potential, victims out there.

Hey cheers LV101. I will give it a try. It's Tuesday afternoon here and I just stepped out for a sundowner so missed you post until now.
