I’ve been digging around in my archived, unfinished story files over the last week or so, and I thought I would share them with you all as story teasers, writing prompts, and just some general creative inspiration. What do you think? I haven’t shared anything I have written just for me since my Foggy Mirrors storyline and creative memoir from 2 years ago. I have been busy writing website content, ghostwriting blogs, creating ebooks and editing novels for others. And as much as I enjoy bringing other people’s inspired messages and creations to light, I feel it will be fun for me to dust my old yarns off, revisit them, and freshen them up a bit while I’m at it.

I even came across shared writing from around 7-8 years ago. I had an amazing colleague when I last worked in the provincial government, Brenda my work sister. Brenda used to often say that our work environment was either feast or famine — there was either too much to do or simply crickets. So, in an effort not to starve our very active imaginations we started writing blind, collaborative stories together during those “famine times”. Without discussing or outlining the stories first, one of us would start a story, then share it back and forth, adding to the story until it had reached its natural conclusion (or we had simply gotten tired of the storyline). I doubt that I will share those stories as we often wrote about work and our department – Lol! 🙂 But it sure was stimulating and great fun! Besides, I have plenty of other solo writes in my vault to share. Stay tuned!
