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*
