Our desire to create is fueled by the power of our imagination.

We only need to observe a child playing to see that this is true.

Take my daughter’s artwork as an example.

Within this picture exists a story that only she can explain.

If she’d sit still long enough, I’d pick her brain and unravel it, just to share it with you all.

But she’s only five and wants to play outside.

As a fantasy writer, I think it’s beautiful!

As a mother, it makes me smile.
