So I've rewritten my fairy tale. Not going to post it. Got a critique for it and I've got a bit of work yet to do. And when I finish the next rewrite I intend to submit it for publication.
Not quite thirty years ago I had a writing instructor tell me she believed me to be a natural novel writer. So here I am: writing flash fiction.
Guess I'm starting over again. The who fairy tale parody thing is something from my teenage and early twenties years. Back then I loved to make fun of common stories, movies and television shows. It had always been in my mind to submit things to Mad Magazine. Back in my youth that was one of the premier comic books. It cost 50-cents (compared to 3-for-a-quarter), but it was well worth the money. I kind of got in tune with their writing staff, for it was not uncommon to see things I was working on show up in the magazine a couple of months later.
So I have returned to editing my own work. Something I had not expected to do much of this year. But in order to get my fairy tale spoof up to speed I'm going to have to work at it.
Who'd of thought?

Yay, go Bevie! I'm glad you're writing and editing again.
Thanks. I guess I've received the right kind of encouragement.
Thanks to you and Sarah.
And special thanks to Writtenwyrdd for giving me the idea in the first place.
You're welcome. I'm full of lots of things, ideas being one of the ones you can mention in mixed company.
Which idea was it, anyhow? Can you give a hint?
[haha]
You told me to rewrite a fairy tale.
