Read Aloud
Read picture books that you absolutely love - aloud. Read all the others silently first. And when you find one you love, read it over and over again - aloud.
Find Space to Listen to Your Inner Voice
Give your writer self the space you need to listen to your stories.
Wonder
Try to write your own books as though it were someone else's that took your breath away. Write with wonder, so it will take someone's breath away.
Trust Beyond Yourself
Trust the creative process, whether it be called the Muse, God, the Divine, or something else. Know that it exists and acknowledge its presence when you write.
Find Heaven
Write about what makes your heart sing.
Love
"Love the world the way you did when you were a little child."
