I read this story in thirds. The first third, I anti-identified with you because it sounds like our childhoods were... quite different. The second third, I hardcore identified with you because I knew nothing about infusing emotions into my writing, much less how to do so effectively, until I'd been writing for... like, all my life? And finally, I smiled at your pithy humor and the idea of a question that is not a question but you make us think it just might be. :)
Loved this, Mona. I read "Little Women" so much I managed to go through two copies. I guess I wanted to be Jo March. But I spent a lot more time reading than writing when I was a kid. I guess I was saving all that writing energy for when I turned 75. Thanks for sharing the great stories about your childhood.
On Anne Frank and Charlotte Corday
Fun, Ramona! Enjoyed this read before diving into work this morning. Also, I rather like bubbles.
