inspiration

Who knows what can be the cause for inspiration? Maybe it was my last post, whining about procrastination. Maybe it was the making of the buttonholes. In any event, I was in my sewing room making buttonholes, when I got the idea for four titles for stories for the CBC contest. They are:

Camping Among Aliens
The Motorcycle Trip from Hell
How We Met
Moving from Windsor to Kingston

These are are all real life stories that I can just relate with very little embellishment. I am having such fun writing the first one, about camping. It feels like the first time I have felt like a real writer, maybe. Well okay, that sounds a little annoying. I have felt like a writer before. But this time, maybe I am imagining others really reading this story and laughing at it. This time, they would be total strangers. Before, with my other writing, I imagined my readers and I knew them. They were already “fans”.
