Write it down. Save it. Encourage family to pursue dreams. If the lights are on at 3 AM and they are writing, or building, bring them a snack. Call in to school for them. Celebrate those notions. Share. Keep dreams alive. If you can't write a novel, is your idea a short story, or a poem? Contribute to the family. Creativity can carry everyone.
