Twin Cities writer Ann Peters writes, "I'm 53, and I've been
writing for the last 35 years. I grew up with my sister, and
we'd make up stories by the hour, telling them scene by scene
and going into deeper description. We called it 'playing' and
we did it up past junior high age. One big blessing was that
the town library was right by our home, and the librarian
was Mom's best friend. In my junior high years I got a part
time job there. It paid seven bucks a week—which I could
KEEP! I sold my first poem in 1980, to Sing, Heavenly Muse,
a woman's magazine. I got $25 and four copies of the magazine.
And now I've sold HERE! Wow! The god-tales of Pajent
grew from a science fiction story. When I was telling one tale
to Ellen Kuhfeld as an aside, she said the background tale was
better than the main story. She was right, so I concentrated
on the god-tales. So far I have eight on the computer, and five
more (plus the main story) in semi-legible longhand in three
different journals. I'm also doing a Panjentese herbal, with
illustrations." |
