Seeds of Inspiration by Miss Mae
As a young girl growing up in the 1960’s books were my hobby
and passion. I loved flipping through the pages of a Nancy Drew, Donna Parker,
or Trixie Belden mystery. Ooh, I dreamed of having adventures just like these
glamorous heroines! Their exciting stories whisked me away from the boredom and
loneliness of being the baby sibling of an older brother and sister (and rarely
welcomed inside their ‘mature’ circle of friends).
One night when the teen-agers visited, with their usual
array of TV, records, and games enjoyed and exhausted, I heard the question,
“What are we going to do now?” I spoke up, “Why don’t we act out a play?”
(You’ll note I added ‘we’. Ha!)
There were some grimaces from the boys but interest was
piqued enough to ask, “Like what?”
And so, with my limited knowledge of how exactly to go about
it, but equipped with boundless imagination, I enthused, “We’ll make something
up!”
I, a mere fifth-grader, inspired with eagerness to become a
part of the high school ‘crowd’ even for one night, grabbed a pencil and some
paper and conceived my first story, Midnight Horror. It was all of ten
pages long, and entertained us for maybe half an hour. Before you ask - no, no
one was good enough at reading the lines for them to later grow up and become a
famous actor. But the thrill of writing that little story ignited a spark
within me and set me on fire to pen my own books and to create my own mystery
solving heroines.
Hopefully, none of them have been a horror!
