Long Story

Prompt: "Everything with you is a long story." Does this apply to you, your friends or characters in your stories?

This applies to me. I moved around a lot when I was in school when Dad was in the Air Force. I lived in different states and had a lot of friends that I had to leave. My ex-boyfriends are long stories in their selves Being married over 30 years and a house fire, illnesses, my kid's antics in school, my family and all the things that have happened at my jobs in mental health, these, too are long stories. I once had a friend would tell me something that happened and she would give me the whole conversation word to word. She should have been a writer but she sells Real Estate.

My stories. Novels are long stories and you include a lot of details. You introduce your characters and stories to readers.

If you sat at home everyday, don't do anything, maybe then you would have a short story to tell about yourself.

Everyone has a story to tell, be it good or bad, boring or exciting. If you live a long time, you have memories and long stories to tell. Chances are, if your life is a long story, you are probably interesting and a writer's dream.
