The Unicorn's Secret


I had the same dream, night after night, for almost two years when I was a girl. Every night, when I fell asleep, I went back to the same place. I had a life there, an amazing life that passed the way anyone's does, a day at a time. When I closed my eyes and fell asleep there I would wake up here. I wrote eight books for children recounting that life a few years ago. Since then, I have been trying to recreate the experience. Last night, I managed it. It isn't clear yet, but I have the important pieces; I know what the world looks like, I can remember the smells and sounds with great detail, and last night was my second visit. So maybe tonight I can go back there a third time. I am hoping.

too many thoughts

Things strike me, arrest me, and I think about them and come to conclusions, sometimes, or chase my tail or simply get distracted. I never know what to do with these thoughts about writing, life, stuff...

So a blog seems perfect. Perhaps it will be interesting. You never know.
