My Dad Once Got Into An Argument With Someone Online And To This Day He Still Tells Me About How PizzaKing74

My Dad once got into an argument with someone online and to this day he still tells me about how PizzaKing74 was wrong.

POV: You're busy scrolling through social media and suddenly you hear a bang and it turns out you forgot to turn off the boiling water and the kettle almost explodes.

(not my picture but it looks kinda like my kettle)

Trust me, it was not a fun experience.

What a copy cat

So the other day I came up with "gardening blessings" for my mom's garden.

May your peanuts never be eaten by squirrels again

May you continue to grow corn with popcorn kernels

May your peas never be dehydrated (I said that as I looked at a pea that look dehydrated)

May no one curse your fig tree

May you continue to grow things accidentally

Hi! My question is: what inspired you to write your stories? (especially Story Thieves, since I still can't wrap my head around how the plot is SO GOOD)

Aw, thank you!

Honestly, I never know how to answer this, as I have no idea where inspiration comes from, other than just random ideas that pop into my head over the course of a day, or writing a book I'd want to read. But once I have an idea, like "a girl who can jump into books and become a part of the story," that's when I sit down and think about it for a pretty long time, several months to a year, and see where that idea might go, build up the characters in my head, and what fun things I could do with the story.

So the inspiration is usually the easiest part, unfortunately. I tend to e-mail myself those random ideas, and stick them in a folder for later, and right now I have ... 782 messages in there (yikes). It's the sitting down and thinking/daydreaming/building out the ideas that takes all the work, and hopefully leads to a story that other people will like!

(Other random ideas that started that way, and I realized I could use for STORY THIEVES?

--Descendants of Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty at a boarding school, only the Moriarty descendant is trying to be good, and our hero.

--A girl's future self sends her back a time machine, only for the time police to arrest her, since her future self is a time criminal.

--Reverse of Superman origin, where a girl from Earth is sent to another planet before Earth blows up.

That last one in particular would never have worked as a story on its own, but it worked pretty well for one character in a series!)

Yep🤞

kotlc fans should be called "keepers".

you agree.
