The advice we give and the advice that we’re willing to take changes as we age. In each season of life, we face a different set of problems and seek a different set of answers. The issues that a teenager ponders are much different from the concerns of an octogenarian. This is a compilation of a few quotes and books, grouped by the ages of the people who said or wrote them.
Children’s Books
I have three kids and have read hundreds, if not thousands of children’s books to my kids over the years. I would like to write a few children’s books before my kids grow up. I have many ideas.
Weird World
I started writing Weird World to help myself break procrastination and get into the habit of writing long-form fiction every day. I haven’t come up with a plot or direction yet. So far the story is organically developing into a children’s chapter book with supernatural and mystery elements to it.
Poetry
Sometimes, I get an idea that doesn’t quite work as a story, but is best suited as a poem. Other times, I have an idea of a fun constraint for generating poetry. I’ll publish poems on my website from time to time as the mood strikes.
Gender-Flipped Tales from Brothers Grimm
These are Grimm’s fairytales twisted and turned. They’re modern-day stories of men being rescued by strong women, tales of powerful queens, and wicked male fairyfolk. These are Grimm’s fairytales like you’ve never seen them before.
Dream Sequence
Dream Sequence is a dream world. It’s a series of flash fiction stories, each starting with a vivid dream, then continuing on with the aid of an artificial intelligence co-author toward a common theme.
