Writing my new story

"Whatcha writing?” my son asked when he saw me sitting in my favorite chair, laptop open.

“New story.  New characters.  Starts tomorrow,” I said, with a smile.  “I’m outlining the plot and fleshing in the characters.” I told him how my character’s lives made me think about my own.  “Writing fiction reminds me we get to write our own factual stories,” I added.

“Can I have $10?”

“What do you need $10 for?”

“Nothing, but you’re always in such a good mood when you start a new story.  I thought this would be a good time to ask.”

I gave him the ten. 

Today I will write a new story for my life.
