Thank you for your kind compliments, absurd_bird. I'm honored to hear that you are inspired by me! In fact, I only very recently considered myself a writer. Yes, I had written a few things here and there over the years, but I was never serious about writing, and I never had a compulsion to write (until now). In fact, I may have been holding back my creativity. I've always doubted myself and my abilities. But ever since I started writing on storybird, and people told me that they liked my stories, I've been able to tap into my creative impulse, and the stories have started coming out of me. The most important thing for me to accept was that I can make mistakes, and that I'm not perfect. I was able to let go of my fear that my writing and my stories were horrible, and instead I could open up to the creative process.
My ideas come from various places. In the case of "The Strawberry Tree" and "Broken," I was inspired by parts of my dreams. But I've also been inspired by other authors. I especially love adapting fairy tales and folk tales. But I cannot take complete credit for my ideas, as I don't think that they are entirely my own (I believe that creativity is a gift from the divine).
Thanks again for your comment. And please continue to keep writing your stories as well! I believe that every single person has a great gift that they need to share with the world, and one of your gifts is writing. If you don't believe me, look at the home page of storybird. Your story "Jealous of Georgia" is featured! Congratulations!

Beautifully written! Did you mean to say ice cram on page ten, or ice cream? Typos make me crazy.
Whoops, thank you for catching that! It said ice cram, but it should say ice cream.

Oh my goodness. This is just sooooooo beautiful. I am inspired by your ability as a writer. I've read a few of your stories and I just loved them. You have so many wonderful ideas. Where do they all come from? You must have a great imagination. You have done a brilliant job.
