Just gonna warn you! You might hate the book’s ending (my sister certainly did, and thus tried to rewrite the ending 😁)
Okay, thanks for clarifying that guys.
My sister believes squirrels are trying to take over the world; maybe that’s why dogs always bark at and chase them…[Read more]

Hi Michelle!
Same here. I joined in early SE in 2018, but have become more engaged lately.
It is very nice to meet you too! 😊
2020 reminded me of how much I needed to connect with more people, and especially those in the family of faith. I am particularly grateful to have you guys, my fellow creatives, to share in our writing jo…[Read more]

Ah, I think it was a comic strip about the beach. Interestingly enough, I haven’t really done a story set along the beach. I mostly lean toward forests!
We didn’t have any more Barbie dolls when we got our Disney dolls; and for a long time we only had Flynn Rider. Poor guy. Whenever our dollies had a ball, he had to escort each and…[Read more]

Sorry about that, Michelle and Lily.
I think I broached the squirrel vibe and it sort of took off on its own.

My favorite part of the beach is collecting the shells or rocks. Yeah, we have a box full of them XD But it so hard to pass them by! So many cool shapes and colors. I love the delicate feel of the shells and sand dollars; and one time we found a whale-shaped rock! Walking through the waves was fun. Oh, and can’t forget visiting…[Read more]

@imwritehere1920 *laughs* Oh, I do want to see them XD didn’t you have a little story about the beach on you and your sister’s website?
As for the Barbies and the princess.
Me and my sister pretend that they were all in the same world. And they would have adventures together. We would even swap their clothing back and forth:) *laughs* honestly, I…[Read more]

For Sale: Baby Shoes. Never Worn.
Lately, I’ve become obsessed with six word stories (and no, in case you were wondering, I didn’t come up with the above story; wished I did, though 😊. According to rumors, it’s a famous short story written by Hemingway, though, not proven).
I really like the idea of compacting a whole story just to a handful…[Read more]

Hey! How’s it going? Let’s see, it’s pretty quiet out in the country. We have about an acre of land. Ooo, you live near the ocean? That’s cool! What’s it like? Do you go often? What’s your favorite part of visiting the beach? We used to have family that lived along the coast (it was a great excuse to go to the beach lol)
Oh man,…[Read more]

@imwritehere1920 We actually moved here last April. During the high time of covid. I love our new house💙 being close to the beach is great. Sometimes, late at night you can smell the ocean sea breeze! I love walking down the oceanside pire it is so gorgeous. I love seeing the ocean waves and the salty sea air. What was your favorite part of the…[Read more]

We moved to the country awhile back, but when we lived in the city, we’d often hear neighbor ‘practicing’ with fireworks before the fourth too; or they’d do it late into the night when all other fireworks were supposed to be over. Of course we don’t need sleep! XD)
Hmm, I haven’t seen The Man Who Invented Christmas, though I’ve heard…[Read more]

So, I’m working on my middle-grade short story. It’s about a girl who’s mother is an apothecary. When city officials destroy their practice and separate them, the girl must find a way to survive.

@imwritehere1920 Yeah, cutting down your own tree makes a better story to tell people😂, until people ask you questions you don’t know how to answer lol

We used to have an artificial tree that we’d assemble each year (actually, it was a lot of fun putting it together; we’d do it while listening to music) and decorate it with our favorite ornaments (we’d get to pick a new one each year). Unfortunately, we lost it when we moved (just before the…[Read more]-

Me and my family used to do a real tree, it was a rosemary tree table top tree. it was still big enough to put presents under:) It smelled soooo good! but sadly we started getting allergenic to it one Christmas (like when I was 12?) so we switched to a fake tree. It was lights already strung on it so…[Read more] -

Here here! Adoption is such a wonderful blessing!
Ooo, you’re first guess was so close!! Actually, my birth parents were from Laos (right next to Vietnam).
Technically, right after I was born, God place me directly into the family He wanted me to be in. But due to the ‘adoption’ system, things got…erm shuffled around quite a bit…[Read more]-
