Where the story ideas originate
When it is dark and quiet, in the middle of the night, my brain seems to stir up all sorts of things, including children’s story plots and characters. One such character, The Goopy Ghost, caused me to sit up in bed and laugh out loud. However, I also try to stay alert to potential children’s story material as I travel through my activities of daily living. Little Ray is one such example; I observed a stingray skipping over the water in brief flight while at the beach one day.
