Whether you're fighting the tendency to kick the egg out of the nest or hold onto the chick after it's mature, it's good to remember that the entire process takes work, patience and loving care.

I think one other thing that nests and stories have in common is this. Once the birds leave the nest, other birds come and build another. Once the story's finished and "out there," other ideas come, and the next nest gets built...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-49463628829272354962011-07-25T02:10:33.323-04:002011-07-25T02:10:33.323-04:00Thanks, Sia.
