Writing Blog

In Praise of the Packrat

10/19/2016

"After Waking," My story about what happens when Sleeping Beauty wakes up, was published in the literary journal The Quotable.  At the time it was accepted, they asked me if I would write a blog about my writing process. Well, as it happened, that particular story DID have an interesting genesis.  So I wrote a post.  They have posted it this week on their blog.

It's called "In Praise of the Packrat," because I seldom throw away any writing.  

Writing this blog made me think about origin stories for my other pieces that have been published, so I found myself blogging here in my own blog about that topic more and more.  Now, when a piece is published, I often include some words on the blog about how the story began or evolved. 

Maybe it's not such a bad thing to  be a packrat.
