I was in awe of your acceptance blog! You went all out putting that list together that includes so much of what fairy tales use for words to tell the stories! ABC’s of Fairy Tales sounds like a book you may need to publish! Great job, congratulations!

Congrats! Also, I really like this list. I like to incorporate fairy tail themes into my writing sometimes, so it is nice to have a collection of words like this to look at when Writer’s Block sets in.

Just my thought when I was compiling it… so many stories there. My kids help me — I ask them what they want a story about, and each contributes a couple elements. Then I weave a story with those elements. Now my oldest son is doing that on car rides. And my younger son has written a fairy tale he wants to put on my website. I also like to do research when writer’s block sets in — an area of the world I don’t know or something scientific. Usually a story idea follows.

I really like the idea of making a story collaboratively. It sounds like a good change from the usual scenerio where one person tells a story, and the other person listens to or reads it.

Thanks! It works well for us all.
