First Post: Happy Dance!

      Hello world. this is my little place on the web. The word scripturient means "to have a violent desire to write", so like the title says, I have to write. I write about everything. Everyday events and stories on the news gets my imagination flowing. Too many of these “what if’s” stay stuck in my head. Held prisoner by my own lack of belief in my ability to share these stories and characters. I know my friends are sick to death of hearing ,”there is a story there.” or ,”What if….” . That’s just me and always has been.
      I blame my Grandfather who was a great story-teller. He could take a mundane event from his childhood and color it into a grand adventure. I made up stories for my kids when they were little. We made our own fairy tales and put the kids in there as characters. I shamelessly took elements from TV, movies, and stories I had read when I was little myself. I won’t be doing that here.
     They say there is nothing new in the world, I do not agree. Even if we say the same thing it will be in a different voice from a different perspective, thus making it new again.
