I am so glad that they are inspiring to you, and I’m so glad that you’ve gotten the courage to write again!

People–especially authority figures– who squash the creativity of others are inexcusable in my mind.

We had a similar experience in 7th grade where we had to write a story using specific vocabulary words. We wrote a story about a rabbit being hunted and killed by a wolf– and ended up in the guidance room about it. Thankfully, the councilor herself didn’t think it was a big deal.

Good luck on your writing journey! I hope there are many things to inspire you and you have the time and energy to write all the things that move you! 💖
