What pops into your head before you try to fall asleep? Five baby pickles, rubber duckies, 13 days of rain, the Lincoln Tunnel, a G-String and dancing cows are some of the ideas that pop into Barbara Worton's head. So, she picks up a pen and notebook, writes down those words and keeps going for three pages. She calls this technique, which she learned from The Artist's Way by Julian Cameron and Mark Bryan, sleepwriting.Sleepwriting is Barbara's way of talking herself to sleep. It's a conversation that takes place in her head. Fortunately, she has put all that private talk down on paper. For those who read Bedtime Stories, it's a call to see ordinary things, people and places in refreshing ways. Barbara and her tales give us a range of emotional permission. These are tales of love, nostalgia, sex, wishes, growing-up and the absurd; tales to start you dreaming or rev your creative engine, and tales you'll never forget.
