    I hear ya girl!  I probably have waaay too many notebooks than is healthy for me 😉

    So sorry you lost one of your notebooks!!  Maybe it will turn up again?  And that is cool that your dreams sparked ideas for stories (I jotted down a couple from my own dreams, but only if they seem like a really good one.  I did not jot the one down where a dinosaur laughed in my face…. just don’t ask… just don’t  XD)

    You gotta lot of intriguing childhood stories; thanks so much for sharing them!  It’s a lot of fun to revisit your earlier works (after you finish cringing over plot holes and such!)  And I know; I hope too that my stories will be remembered.

    Wow.  That sounds cool! (and it sounds like you had fun 😉 ).  Is it hard to collaborate on a story with several people?  Are you going to continue the stories?

    Wow, that second story sounds complex and very compelling! (though, for both stories, I think a box of tissues is in order!)  Are you going to keep writing about Wonder?

    So, I noticed that you guys were talking about maintaining innocence and child-like wonder in stories?  I can’t remember any stories that I’ve recently read (off the top of my head) that have a protagonist or character with those qualities; except in some movies my family and I recently watched.  Namely Paddington 1 and 2, and Disney’s Christoper Robin (not to be confused with Good-Bye Christopher Robin; which was a really interesting movie about A.A. Milne.  But I digress).  Anyway, what is your favorite story with a protagonist who has a child-like or innocent/hopeful personality?

    Ps.  Wait, I just remembered a story : Pollyanna! *face palm*
