A weekly blog post about your inner two year old, and the many ways they can use to help you make your writing sparkle with their zeal :)

Today's playdate is all about engaging new layers of your creativity.

It is something that you probably did as a lil one, and still do during long, long phone conversations or musings about the next story you write.

What you need

• a box of crayons, the more colours the better!
• a sketch pad, a note pad, anything that has a drawable surface (no we don't mean the walls! Really, we don't!!)
• your hand(s)

Sit down, and just draw what comes up. It doesn't need to be perfect, just doodle. Doodle along. When you're stuck in a project, get the crayons and doodle. When you are feeling down, grab your crayons. Just engage that wonderful inner two year old into making the adult in you giggle like mad!

My inner two year old and I love love love to draw flowers. Violets and strange little flowers with five leaves. Or we love to draw kitties, no matter how badly drawn they are. The doodles are for us alone. You should see some of the notepads I have!

And then when you have doodled along, get to write, you'll see how good it feels.

Have a wonderful weekend :D

Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
