In case anyone was wondering...
In case anyone was wondering, I live with a singular personality. The other day, I came home from work and my wife informed me that she had come up with the first joke for her new traveling national podiatrist conference comedy routine (No lie--she actually said that--I'm not making this up). After starting and stopping and thinking hard for a minute she said, "Oh, wait, I've got it now... have you ever noticed how obscessed with professionals America is? We've got professional singers, professional athletes--we even have professional dog groomers.... We're an over-pro-nation!" It turns out she was making up jokes for a hypothetical podiatrist conference in the shower that afternoon.
So you can imagine my thoughts tonight when she told me she had written the first page of her forthcoming children's book entitled "The House with a Red Door." She then recited the first page that goes something like this... "this is a story about a house with a red door, and the people who live inside." Life keeps getting better and better.
The greatest moment, though, was when she then told me that she had also written the first line of the cookbook she is creating... "one quarter teaspoon nutmeg." I love my wife!
(She also has a song with one line... ur... um... one syllable I mean. It starts out "Oooohh....")


Well, let me know when the book is done and I'll pass it along to Sara at Sage Publishing.
I am happy to cowrite should she decide she get writer's block. ;)
I mean, should she get writers block OR decide she wants help. Sorry, it's late.
I will keep that in mind. Since I have already done the first page... any ideas for a second page? ha ha ha. Sometime I will have to share with you Miles' and I "vision" for what I want to write about...
First there is Papa with his red toboggan.
Then there is Mama. Her galoshes are red.
(feel free to use it or not. just trying to help get the creative juices flowing....;)
It could be a whole book about the color red. Or maybe just as a major theme in the book. It would be neat to have a whole series of books that all had one color as a major theme to go along with the story that is being told.
