Throughout the last two decades I have written many short stories.
An idea just would come out of nowhere and sometimes after overhearing a passing conversation or seeing an interesting slice of life. Yes, catching snippets far too good to forget.
Shopping centres are great places for this kind of material.
Just walk about ... and stories are just bubbling away everywhere.
And the memories . . . when you reach your 70's the memories can leak out at the most unexpected times. It's like someone is giving your head a spring cleaning, and so many once lost moments get disturbed ... and then ... they won't go away until I make them a story.
So being a Storymaker is perhaps a curse?
Most of these stories have MG cars in them and are placed in and about the city of Newcastle New South Wales. Some were once used in magazines and then ... lost until now found in my computer files.
So, if you are a light reader, or perhaps you like a short story with an impact, have a rummage through this chocolate-box selection of hard and soft centres.
And there are poems, many many poems, so perhaps they may become another chocolate box, ... who knows?
Yes, take a trip through time and find out what once was . . . and, did any of it really happen ... or was it just more of my imagination?
