Story

So, I was recently "introduced" to Lisa-Jo of Tales of A Gypsy Mama through another blog I read often and she is such an encouragement to me! A God-sent blessing to me in so many ways. I've "known" her for maybe a week and I already love her.
Anyway, she does this thing on her blog called Five Minute Friday where she gives a subject, usually just a word from what I've seen, and people are supposed to write about the subject for 5 minutes. And then post it. Unedited...unscripted....in other words......Raw.

When I first found her last week I thought it was a fabulous idea. This week, I am joining in. Not sure I'll make it every week, but I will try.

This week's subject is: "Story". Here's what came out.....

Story

I used to write stories. When I was a teen ager I wrote and wrote and wrote.

Now I hardly ever write….fiction. Oh, I blog occasionally, but it seems to happen less and less.

The stories still swirl around in my head. Usually at night….when I can’t sleep. That’s when I let them out. Let myself dream a little and bring a fictional reality to light.

And it’s fun. I like making up worlds and characters and lives that have little to nothing to do with the one I live every day. I like using names I would never name anyone in real life, putting together a character I would never be…..

My stories are an extension of me…..of my thoughts and feelings, some of my dreams and aspirations. Sometimes they are just fancy. They are always entertaining.

I should write more. If only to let out some of these stories swirling around in my head. But I seem to always begin and never end a story these days. I never seem to be able to get to the point of “the end”.
