We have a cardinal that has been flying into our front windows for 3 years now. It prompted me and my daughter to write a story about it.
I had a dream that was so vivid, it inspired a story. It's a journey of the middle aged person seeking their peace laden with metaphor.
This is an old one. I wrote this back in the 90s. It's one of the most amazing trips I went on to Mt. Merapi, Indonesia.
This one always makes me cry. In fact it made my little girl cry when I shared it with her when she was little. Ooops. But it's a great story about growing up and the toys we love so much.
During the pandemic, our family took on writing short stories based on a prompt. I can't remember the prompt for this one, but it was one of my more creative works about a cat with a problem.
Our story was a good one. It started with some fortune cookies!
