In response to the questions, when do you write and what inspires you, Mary Anne said, "I write wherever I find myself, but usually first thing in the morning at my desk at home in Long Beach. My inspiration comes from stories my mom told me when I was growing up." How terrific! Congrats, Mary Anne!

Please continue to post your short writes in the comments of this blog—even if it is just a snarky Facebook style sentence fragment. Just like in class, I will tell you what I like and remember and treat everything as fiction. And, you'll have another chance to win a class in the month of January.

I LOVE what folks are posting. The stories are wonderful!
