Inspiration

The world in general is my biggest inspiration. It facinates me how something with so many problems can continue to function. When you add imagination to the formula, the number and variety of stories is enormous. I am Native American (Ojibwe) and as such I have a genetic urge to tell stories, so writing what crosses my mind serves to not only be entertaining, but contain lessons and admonishments on life. We learn so that we can teach, and knowledge not shared is lost.
