Everyone Can Use a Reminder

By Chad "I've got some work to do" Morris

One of biggest reasons I write is that I love it when my kids read my stuff. I love it when they get excited, when they life, when they would rather I read another chapter . . . etc. My oldest boy is probably my biggest fan. Of course he's read my latest complete book, The Secret of Craggbridge Academy (which is also the book that landed me an agent). Well, I've been mapping out a sequel, and done some preliminary writing, but I've mostly been focusing on a project I'm doing with Shelly.  Apparently, that isn't good enough.

My son found some post-it notes, and I found a reminder:

And another one the bag I take to work:


 And on my mirror.

And on my bedpost.


And on my ipad.

And I found a few more after I quit taking pictures. Looks like I've got my marching orders. I'll get on it, Son.

Remember your big reasons for writing, and keep up the great work.

  3. Yeah, those were the good post-its too :(
    LoL, it's cool. I'm pretty excited to see what's going to happen with book 2 as well.

  4. I'd love it if my kids nagged me to write stuff. Right now it's more like "Stop being on the computer and play Legos with me." How am I supposed to resist that? :)

    1. It's impossible. Give in. Legos and kids is a winning combination.
