I was really getting frustrated.
I had been working seven months on my new novel, and had barely completed three chapters.
I thought moving to a new town would help spark the creative juices, but I was still stalled.
It couldn't be writers block, could it?


Things had been so difficult since my wife passed away.
I knew my daughter was struggling too.



She was so like her mother.
I didn't know what I would do without her.



I heard her come in the house and knock on my door.
I smiled and shut off the computer without saving and of the drivel I had typed out.
There was always tomorrow.



Opening the door, I found myself transfixed by my daughter's lovely face.
She turned 18 last week.
She had become a beautiful woman. There was no doubt about it.
There should be boys staked out on the front lawn, I reasoned.
But there weren't.

She was just too shy.
I wished I could do something to bring her out of her shell a little.
But I was only her Dad.

"Hey, Princess," I said, wrapping her up in my arms......
 
"Hi Daddy" I start to cry. "I miss Mommy so much what will we do."
