Our Word Shop Dream

It was the first time away after our little treasure was born. After several hundred nights of bad sleep and the adjustment of not working together was mostly over, we walked alone in a small Midwestern rivertown. Here, we dreamed of a life away from the suburbs where somehow clear thoughts could form.

We built in our minds a little shop off a quaint street where we would work together again, helping authors with their own thoughts by creating a place where imagination and joy of communication could share a cup of coffee and a muffin. We called it our Word Shop.

Now, almost five years later, we still don't live in a rivertown, but clear thoughts are beginning to take shape. It seems to be the right time to begin to build a place online that echos the dream of that trip together. Maybe someday we'll build it with brick and tile...today we lay the foundation with words.
