We all Have a Date

Story Of My HeArt Pure Fiction Challenge

The idea came from a prompt. It was one word. I love prompts and how I can see a word and then start to create the story in my head. So this word bounced around in my head for a few days.

I figured out exactly what I wanted to write almost a week later. I knew that I wanted to take the person’s prompt and make it unique. As crazy as it sounds, I want my stories to stand out and give readers a sense of nostalgia.

I’m proud of this story because readers seemed to like it, and it surprised me how much people liked it. I honestly surprised myself and learned the story fit a genre I had never written. I’ve read in this genre without realizing it was a genre of its own until people commented about it.

I know it sounds crazy that I didn’t know but hear me out. I picked up writing again after 10+ years seriously after my aunt passed in July of 2021. The year before I participated in the wrimo nano challenge, she encouraged me to keep writing. She was so inspirational. I am who I am because of her.

Okay, back to the story, sorry I love talking about her. So, I want to eventually expand on the story and make it a series with twists and turns and adventures. I will let you, reader tell me what you think. I’m sure you’re going to love it, but I’m biased.

So enjoy! and remember, we all have a date.

Thank you for reading if you would like to support me you can buy me a cup of tea it’s what I drink when I write. Maybe it’s in my head, but I feel I write best when I drink tea.
