The planet of Stuck-In-The-Muck

Time is a bit short around Caterpickles Central this week, what with two major deadlines coming up on Friday, so I’m going to let The Four-Year-Old commandeer the blog for another story. Regularly scheduled book reviews will return next week.

The Four-Year-Old, playing with a school bus and a car made of Lego blocks: “The cars are going on an epic journey, Mommyo. Do you know where the cars are journeying epically to?”

Mother shakes her head.

The Four-Year-Old: “Some place very far away. The planet of Stuck-In-The-Muck, I think.”

The Four-Year-Old disappears behind the couch. Swooshing sounds, and then: “At least we are in space now. I can make it to places from there.”

More swooshing, then an excited voice: “Whoa! That was amazing!”

About Shala Howell

Writer of things ranging from optical network switching white papers to genetic testing patient education materials to historical fiction set in an 1880s asylum. When I’m not scratching my head over pesky characters who refuse to do things how I want them done or dreaming of my next book (which will of course be much easier to write and research than the current one), my writerly self can be found sifting through the stacks in my church’s archives looking for a few good stories to tell, blogging about life with a very curious Six-Year-Old at Caterpickles.com, or musing about books and the writing life at BostonWriters.wordpress.com.
