See? Diet and exercise do pay off! (I wish!) This humongous chair is at The Factory (a repurposed factory with antiques, shops, etc.) in Franklin, Tennessee. Sitting in it stirred up some thoughts about writing for kids. Climbing up there made me think about how important it is to remember that it's not easy being a kid today. The fun of sitting there reminded me to keep a sense of humor while writing. And the playful imaginings that came to me (I was a kid again, the chair belonged to a giant, I was the teensiest queen in the world, etc.) made me realize you have to let your mind wander freely in order to create!

Oh,that's great! Reminds me of Lily Tomlin's "Edith Ann" character on Laugh-In.
I was thinking about Lily Tomlin as I sat there, but I couldn't think of the character's name at that moment!
Love that chair! You look just like a little kid sitting in it!
