I lied. The Tunxis folk will eat you alive. (Just to keep you on the edge--you're supposed to be edgy as a writer, right? It keeps the creative juices flowing, or was that the suicide rate going up...I never get that straight.) You know that nice email I sent you to put your mind at ease? I lied.

I scribbled away. In the morning, I joyously reached for my notebook and read, "Who is pooching Poochy-pooh?"

His random thoughts are hilarious. I hope that the other kids don't squash that out of him, because it's *good* to wonder about everything. So tonight are you keeping a notebook by the side of your bed? I've taken to doing that, and it really does help. Sympathies, though, on not being able to figure out your random scribblings.

And I've learned that some of my best stuff is written then - if only I could write the entire thing then. And Panera is a favorite place to ponder these things. :) Oh, Sandi, I so relate!! when I’m in the middle of writing a novel, I often get up in the middle of the night.
