In some ways, I wish I had started earlier. Interesting idea about an imagination muscle. I can see how life, family etc. can overtake and your imagination goes into hiding. Glad you're at a stage in your life when you can focus on writing especially as you've written some great cozy mysteries. Keep them coming :-)The Cynical Sailorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11047491682363507834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52364159500107393.post-66896936014940739192018-11-10T00:44:25.933-08:002018-11-10T00:44:25.933-08:00I agree that creativity is a muscle.

But I do remember when I started writing more "seriously" (ie, knowing that someone else was going to read what I wrote - and hopefully pay for it), so I do remember that shift quite well. I've had to put away most of my other creative endeavours in order to focus on writing, unfortunately. My kids are still young and eat up a lot of time.C.D.
