15 children's books

Same game as last time, but w/15 children's books instead. The first 15 I think of.

1. Alice in Wonderland
2. Matilda
3. Olivia
4. Eloise
5. Winken, Blinken, and Nod
6. The Face on the Milk Carton
7. The Egypt Game
8. Harriet the Spy
9. The Little Prince
10. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
11. Winnie-the-Pooh
12. Animalia
13. Juniper
14. Redwall
15. The Jolly Postman

I'm sure I've forgotten many important ones. I probably know more children's books than adult books, but those are the first 15 I thought of, anyway.

I am cleaning out all of my craft supplies. There are many. It's a lifetime's worth of random shit I thought I could turn into other random shit. Some of it, I will still turn into other random shit. Gargh. I am tired of it, though I haven't done it for too long. I think the last two months have involved an inordinate amount of packing and unpacking and reorganizing. Speaking of organizing, sometimes I feel like I over-organize everything. Sometimes, I feel like everyone else under-organizes everything. I don't like this.

Yesterday I finished reading Fingersmith. Afterwards, I found it much easier to work on my story. Funny thing, that if I just read a bit, suddenly something clicks in my head and what before was a difficult task that I felt I had forgotten how to do, becomes something natural and easy and enjoyable. I should remember that. Remember that! Always read a little, right before you write.

Bahh! I love the jolly postman!

And I will try to follow that advice next time I write.
