And just reading about it makes me see how much you and your brothers love each other. I wish I could do this with my family, but none of them read fiction. I don't believe they've read my novel or any of my short stories. Still, maybe some day I can do this with my created family of friends. :) Can't wait to hear about this year's requests!

I hope you have as much fun as I did. Aw, thanks, Eugene! :) I'll definitely let you know if we ever do that. And Marie, the Narnia-subversion story is great! It's funny about writing with or without prompts...I actually find it much easier (at least with short stories) than coming up with ideas from a blank slate - something about knowing one element already makes me relax and let the others pop up much more easily! On the other hand, I can't for the life of me write to a strict outline... Karen, that is so cool! I hope you have as much fun as I did.

This sounds great. If I had any confidence in my ability to work to a prompt, I might try it myself. Alas, my brain just does not seem to be wired that way. . . . but now I want to read the Narnia-subversion story!

Maybe one day you'll all have enough stories to come out with a family collection. A POD compilation would be a nice treat for your other family members...and all your fans :) Let me know when I can pre-order! That’s a terrific idea!
