Evidently, I'm raising another generation of storytellers. My three-and-a-half year old came up the other day and said, "Mommy, I'm going to tell you a scary story, but you don't have to be scared because there's a rainbow at the end." I couldn't actually find the picture she had drawn to go with that story, but here's another one she drew about a storm and a beach, and I think the long skinny blue thing was a person, maybe? Her explanations of her drawings lately have become quite elaborate. Another time, she came up and said, "Mommy, I'm going to tell you a scary story, but you don't have to be scared. It's about a pretend world, and not the real world." She followed that statement up with, "And Daddy can keep you safe."
I guess maybe she's not going to write romance like her Mama? Regardless, I'm loving seeing her imagination blossom and expand and go wild. Do your kids tell stories? I'd love to hear one!

This is a place for me to share thoughts and ideas not just related to writing. Thoughts about what's going on in my life, about an idea I got that I thought shareworthy, or just a funny anecdote.
