What Inspires Me
I tend to write stories that either make people laugh or cry (in a good way!). My short story, "The Snake Path," is like that.
"Song Seeds," published in an online journal, even makes ME laugh/cry. It's a true story about my father, and how, in a roundabout way, he inspired me to write a funny song. You can read it here:

Another story I penned about songwriting is "Nature's Inspiration." The first half of the story is mostly true; the second half ... well, you'll understand when you read it!
