The Imagination Muscle

I used to think imagination was something you grow out of.

Somewhere along the way, it got labeled as impractical… childish… unrealistic.

But the more I write, the more I’m convinced imagination is actually a muscle.
If you don’t use it, it doesn’t disappear—it just goes quiet.

Lately, I’ve been trying to listen to it again. Even when it feels awkward. Even when it’s messy.

What’s something your imagination keeps nudging you toward… but you haven’t acted on yet?

✨ What If Ordinary Moments Weren’t So Ordinary? ✨

Maxwell wasn’t searching for adventure.
He was just trying to find his favorite cereal.

But when shadows slip through a grocery store aisle and imagination takes over, an everyday errand turns into a universe-saving mission—complete with aliens, a loyal lizard sidekick, and milk-powered heroics.

The Grapehead Avenger is a story about a young boy who transforms ordinary moments into extraordinary adventures, reminding us that wonder is never as far away as we think.
