Writer's block is a Rubik's cube. The solution is always there. For some writers, I suppose it's easier to solve. For others, frustrating may be an understatement. For me, when I hit a dead end, I try to work around it.
It helps to look at another facet of the cube when one side is stymied.

I enjoy storytelling, especially when it reaches the reader.

Tarō is the quintessential hero of three timeless Japanese folktales: Kintarō (Golden Boy), Urashima Tarō (Island Boy), and Momotarō (Peach Boy). Each legend stands alone, bearing no relation to the others except in name.
Some years ago, I saw a parallel between the personalities of Japan’s three Great Unifiers and Momotarō’s animal companions, the pheasant, monkey, and dog. I thought it might be amusing to write a short story drawing on this comparison.
What began as a little excursion became a grand adventure. While the rest may not be history per se, I hope the reader will enjoy this new yarn as much as I enjoyed spinning it.
