Inspiration

I created Mermaids and Fairy Princesses maybe over a year (and a half?) ago by searching for pictures of mermaids and fairy princesses through Google. Shelby was really getting into things like this and I just thought I would take a look of what could be on the web. A lot, I can tell you that! Some really beautiful and a few have been um....
Through the searching for pictures of mermaids and fairies, I came across a blog that was just fantastic to read. It was about a young girl who had fallen in love and shortly after the passing of her mother, she finds that her boyfriend,Demetri, is really a fairy. The author is named Aspiring Author and I think it is a perfect name. This girl, from what I've read in her profile and blog, is only in high school. She has a lot of hopes and dreams and one is to become an author. Aspiring Author, you are well on your way and it is clear by your stories that you have the talent.

Aspiring Author is not only brave to post one of her stories, but two. After giving her readers short pieces of her first story, she adds in a new one. This one about a teenage girl whose famous mother sends her to live with long lost cousins. Both stories are unforgettable after you read, and that I do encourage you to click on over to Aspiring Author's blog. Maybe you too can become inspired.

How I was going to start Mermaids and Fairy Princesses was to write some stories of my own since I do like to do that. Only problem is, I'm not brave enough to show them off since I still have very little written and afraid of what if I don't finish something. So I started writing a few posts of my life and pictures of the kids. Then I took stuff off. Then I wrote more more. Then off again. Finally I got inspired again. I had been unsure of what to really do with my blog here when I came across a friend's blog. Melanie's (maggie and mac's blog) is layered with pictures of her kids and this was something that I did not know was possible. I really love the way she has done her blog. It has inspired my new blog, The Prince and the Princess, dedicated only to two of the most precious children in the world, Shelby and Lucas.

It's been months since Aspiring Author has updated her blog and I really do miss reading about Lily and Shiloh I'm still hoping that one day I will sign onto blogger and I will see in my blog roll, Aspiring Author - 1 day ago...or 2 days ago. So Aspiring Author, if you are reading this; update! :o)

  1. Awww.. thanks for that. lol. My first story was inspired by Linda B's art actually. Yes i am in school, and have been extrememly busy. But my new Years resolution is to get better at posting on here.. At least until i run out of story and have to write more. But i will probably hae another piece posted by the middle of next week so watch for it ;)
    Don't worry about not finishing.. Thats my weakness. The two stories on my blog are not finished, and i spend half the time i work on them wondering if i will ever finish. I have a million other starts to stories. From 3 pages to 50. I like get ideas then forget about them or decide they are dumb. But i still keep doing it.
