A good day.

Usually I write only when I am alone, after the spouse and kids leave. That is when I get 'quality, undisturbed time'. But the Summer vacation has ensured that I get no such luxury as the kids are at home  all the time and so I work as and when I can.



These days I am working on my fifth book and I am already half-way through writing it. This morning, when I was writing, I forgot to shut the door and my eleven year old daughter slowly sidled upto me and sat quietly watching me work.  Since I was in the middle of a paragraph, I did not stop writing and I continued till I reached the end of the page, fully aware of the two little eyes beside me, reading every word on the screen.



When I reached the end of the page, I stopped.



'Mummy, how do you write all this stuff? Do you just make it up?' she asked, her voice filled with wonder and awe.



'Yes,' I make it up.'



 'Wow!' she said in hushed tones, her voice a whisper, full of awe.



I smiled and hugged her.



'Why did you ask?' I prodded



'I just saw mummy, the words were simply tumbling out and so beautifully turning into a story,' she said.



What can I say?

Today was one of my good writing days. :-)
