I used to think that solitude was a writer's best friend. I couldn't wait to take early retirement from my day job and with my children off (prayerfully) conquering the world, I would be left alone to write. Then, I came to realize that the proverbial grass is as green as it can possibly get, right now, while my children are with me and are full of victories, challenges, rivalry, love, hope, disappointments, happiness, sadness, new experiences, and old emotions -- all the things a writer could ever possibly hope to imagine if not experience first hand.
