  51. what a wonderful passion you have for stories! I share it.
    Eevery night my two boys want to make up stories for them and i find it a wonderful challenge to my imagination and a game I will probably cherish after they grow up. They give me the start (a character, a setting, a time in history...) and i build on that. I usually never have a plan, I just go with the flow and see their reactions to teh "plot". It is difficoult sometimes though. I am thinking or getting some inspiration from old books...would LOVE to see what inspiring stories your magic box may have...
    Wonderful blog, very inspiring. Thank you!!! Amelia
