Sometimes they become stories. Sometimes they become poems, characters, memories, or little mysteries that are waiting, begging, and hoping to be written down.
So pull up a chair, pour some coffee, and forgive me in advance if I get a little dramatic. I am a writer, after all. It comes with the territory.
