Seriously. I can overhear a conversation in a coffee shop and find a word or phrase which inspires a story. I can watch my dogs playing with a herd of deer and be inspired. I can watch an old television show and glean inspiration. To prove the point, one morning I sat thinking about advice I'd recently received from writer W.

I heard Bea Arthur interrupt Estelle Getty in a story by saying, "Ma, you weren't even alive in 1855!" (Or whatever year she mentioned.) That was all I needed! I hurried to my computer and began typing. The short story turned into my first big writing award: Deadlines -- winner of the 2014 SOUTHERN WRITERS Short Story Contest. http://www.southernwritersmagazine.co... (less)

TWO SIDES OF TRUTH by K.S.   Jones
"This was a very enjoyable read. Based in Arkansas in the 1920's/Depression, Jones transports the reader to another time and place. I dare readers not to like Sooze and her sister Cora. A wholesome coming of age love story is an added bonus in this ch" Read more of this review »
