Danielle Bean, writing in Faith and Family Magazine:

"You know the problem with being an author?" Ambrose mused from the backseat of the car yesterday afternoon.

I absolutely do, I wanted to tell him. I know many of the problems with being an author. The pay, the hours, the never having the right idea when you need it but then having exactly the right idea immediately after you hit "send" or in the middle of the night or while you are driving down the highway at 70 miles per hour with nary a pen in sight.

But I thought a 9 year old might have a different perspective, and so I answered only, "What?"

I'm not exactly an author, but I can appreciate the talk. Go read the whole thing.
