Except do you know what? We're writers, which means that it's OUR JOB to daydream. Terry Brooks says so.
Dreaming opens the doors to creativity. Dreaming allows the imagination to invent something wonderful. Don’t cheat yourself out of a chance to discover how well this can work. Don’t shortcut the process. Make dream time the linchpin of your writing experience.
~Terry Brooks
I'm not going to go count how many books Terry Brooks written, but it's a lot. Twenty-three of them have been NYT bestsellers. And he has over 21 million of his books in print. Dude knows what he's talking about. So I say this means we should pretend like we're kids again and spend our summer daydreaming!
Daydreaming, and eating these. (It'll help the feeling like a kid again thing, I'm sure of it. ;))

I can do that!
Love the Lego-head cookies.
Thanks, I haven't been dreaming lately and I could use a dose. I'm giving myself some homework.
LEGO head cookies??? Where have they been all my life?
Also, I never stopped dreaming like a kid. It did get in the way during my classes in college though...
Okay - I like getting permission to daydream. I'm all for it. That means we have the coolest job EVER! Right?
I haven't been dreaming much lately either. I'd like to do that and feel more like a kid again. Adult life is so busy sometimes we forget the essentials.
Excellent advice on both counts :)
I daydream a lot already. But I'll sure take some of those cookies!
Sounds like a plan to me!
I definitely need to get back to daydreaming. Nothing passes time at a summer job better than daydreaming. ;) Not only that, but I could use a little more life in my stories.
Never seems to be enough time some days for daydreaming.
Those Lego head cookies are cute. : )
Man, I miss those days! And I still try to get in a good daydream whenever I can. ;)
