It’s so fascinating that things from years ago, even all the way back to childhood, can act as inspiration points for a story. Thank you for sharing this.

I’ve been trying to think of how to explain how helpful it is to gain these sorts of glimpses into a story’s creation, and been unable to come up with any real explanation. But there is something about hearing about this journey that you have had with Stimp that resonates, and encourages. So thank you again for sharing.

Apologies on not getting to all Stimp yet, Shaina. I'd been waiting for all before I jumped in to re(read) to the end. look forward to returning to this too once that is done.

No apologies necessary! I can’t believe anyone is reading anything to be honest 😂 there’s so much out there and on here.

I bought House of Leaves...

Amazing recollections, but not surprised, as you clearly have been a story teller and writer in the making for a long time. Now I wish, in vain unfortunately, I could know what your daughter's recollection will be of that encounter say two or three decades from now🙄
