Many works of literature are based on stories, fables, fairy tales or writings of other authors over time. What is interesting is how the new stories deviate from their inspirations. I frequently retell a well-known plot from children's literature. I decided to put three of them into "Classic Tales: Stories from The Doll's Storybook."

I have a schedule, one story comes out in the story blog each week. I HAVE to write it or disappoint my readers. The characters tell me what the story will be about.

This week's story is about journalism. One of the characters is doing an interview. Last week's story was about trash and recycling: how it's collected and processed.

I jump over it and move on. My characters tell me what to write.
