I wrote poems and short stories all through my childhood, but the first story that seemed to move others I wrote in college. It was about a young lady whose ex boyfriend marries her sister. She is still in love with him, and sits out on the cliffs and cries during the wedding. I cried while I wrote the story. I have never since gotten so emotionally involved in a story I wrote. I think I was exploring my relationship with my own sister. We were not extremely close. I felt that she always out did me , and shined above. My stories today do not veer into my psyche. They are not therapy they focus on my imagination. It might be good if I could write another story that could move me to tears as I wrote it. I no longer have this story. For years I guarded it, as one of my treasures. It made me feel like I was baring my soul. When I read it in class it got great responses. They even thought I had a signature style. Now a days I do not have a real style. You can not read my story and know it is mine. I write according to the vocal challenge. I have started several longer stories on my own. I keep meaning to expand my vocal stories. I tend to write more fantasy, about a world in the future or some obscure planet. It is never a perfect world, there is always some life lesson in it.

In my real life my sister did not end up marrying my ex boyfriend. Although I always felt she shined above me. I no longer break down in tears about our relationship. I was always a little afraid that my fictional story would forecast my future, but it didn't.

    Resonating with the subtleties of familial dynamics and personal development, your narrative masterfully depicts the intricacy of sibling relationships and the emotional path of self-discovery via storytelling.

    Siblings can hurt the most sometimes. Family can be complicated. Good story.

    I know that feeling so well, like you can have ten siblings and still feel like you have none, or maybe just one. One day at a time, let time take us where it will. Like you I write for the enjoyment of it. Happy to have somewhere to jot it down for posterity and me.
