You should write a story about THAT, Carolyn!!


A funny thing happens to you when you are a writer, or when you tell people that you want to be a writer - suddenly, people tell you stuff that happened to them, and that you should write a story about it...more


Hey I'm over at Paranormal Haven today, talking the twists and turns story ideas can take...and my grandmother's unexpectedly popular big idea!! Come say hi!

I think it's wanting to be immortalized in print...be famous. And wouldn't it be a great thing to say at a party...'My friend the famours author wrote a book inspired by me!' LOL!

You know, I think it is just that we who like books but have never really bitten the bullet to write one can think of quite a list of potential themes, ideas, plot or story lines. Having the moxy, time, or courage to do the hard work of writing--now that's the issue. I get the same thing often when I am telling an amusing story from my youth: "Oh, you should really write a book some day." Yeah--like someone would even read it or, can't imagine, buy it.
