First Published Story!

And because I have not posted in months, you are getting a magic THREE posts today!

I was approached by a friend who is a content manager for an MSN site, published worldwide. She asked me to write a fictional story based on a classic portrait of a woman. The guidelines were pretty loose: write a first person account of the woman in the portrait, but with a modern twist. There were some rules here, but mostly they felt loose and vague. Oh, and it must be MSN-friendly.

I was given three portraits to choose from. It was a no-brainer. This shot has always rocked my world and intrigued me since I was a little girl.

Woman with Ermine, Davinci

After a few rough drafts and a few back-and-forths between my friend, the editor and the client, my story was published.

I had forgotten how wonderful it is to write a creative piece. Music, photography and reading are my great escapes. I rediscovered that I also love to tap into the artistic flow for writing.

Falling and Floating, by me:
