PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ME SOLICITING YOUR APP/SERVICE. Where do young writers get their ideas? In this ongoing memoir project, the author will tell you. Do you know about the never-ending love story that started in middle school? Or the time she committed her first crime (accidentally stealing a bagel)? What about the great escape from girls who hold her friends hostage at boarding school? Life is full of stories waiting to be told. In the tradition of "truth is stranger than fiction," many of these moments inspired future stories--and poems-- of their own. Complete with story snippets from childhood and from current works-in-progress, "Once Upon a Time" will inspire writers of all kinds to tell their own stories and let their lives speak.All Rights Reserved
