brainstorming...

I really enjoyed reading letters growing up...letters between lovers, friends, even a few books that were based off of letters...so I think I'd like to explore that idea. Maybe letters between a father and daughter, between two best friends, or complete strangers (pen pal thing) .. I'm not sure yet. I'm going to be playing around with that for a bit and see where it goes. I definitely need to work on my vocabulary and expand it a bit... Hello, Mr. Thesaurus! :)

too pretty?

These young women claim that they were descriminated against on a flight because they were much prettier than anyone else on the plane. Spare me. I am truly terrified for our future, people.

Any ideas for stories would be much appreciated .. I've been doing a little brainstorming, but not too hard. I'm not really old enough to do some creative nonfiction about myself, but I keep wondering if that might be my best bet. When we had the fiction section of our class in college, I didn't do well at all with developing characters. All the more reason to work on that, eh?

beginnings...

I have decided that I want to take another stab at writing, and I figured a blog would be a good way to go about doing that. so that's what to expect from me! don't be shy, I love meeting new people!:)
