    I have 10 kids. 9 at home for the moment and another on the way. Motivation to get out of bed every morning because if I don't, all chaos will ensue. If I don't stay on top of things, it will come back to bite me quicker than snot on a hot day. And what do I look forward to? The opportunity to laugh and see humor in the antics of it all.

    Not being bombarded with questions. That's what I look forward to.

    When I come home from work every night, my daughter (who is 22 months old) stops whatever she is doing and runs full tilt, screaming happily, into my arms.

    It might well be my favorite part of every day.

    Do not think it a kindness.

    Mine still do it, but with less exuberance. Still enjoying it while it lasts, though.

    Calvin and Hobbes comic strips. Doesn't matter what day it is, how I'm feeling, just gets you into a good mood.

    I just keep thinking about the possibility of being published. It motivates me to keep banging out those sentences, and then editing them, and re-editing them. And after publication, maybe, just maybe, one day, someone might send me a check for one (or two).
    The sand of the desert is sodden red, -
    Red with the wreck of a square that broke; -
    The Gatling's jammed and the colonel dead,
    And the regiment blind with dust and smoke.
    The river of death has brimmed his banks,
    And England's far, and Honour a name,
    But the voice of schoolboy rallies the ranks,
    "Play up! play up! and play the game!"

    Have you got a publisher in mind? And have you had any interest?
