Hi, I'm JACE , your guest editor for this week's Drama issue.
Drama is something people go through everyday. Change of character is nothing more than mood swings.
--Kewana Bagby.
The real object of the drama is the exhibition of the human character.
--Thomas Babington Macaulay.

Life Happens Daily
Life, read drama, happens daily. Each of us lives our days according to the circumstances that surround us. Some days, most if the truth be told, are just downright boring. Others offer nuggets of drama upon which a story might be offered up. Just a spark of an idea is all you need to take you into another world.
One only needs to open one's eyes and mind to the wonders in our daily lives. Or, to those in other's lives. Several years ago I 'met' a wonderful lady some fifteen years my senior on another site in which I was a member. I'd actually began my writing endeavors there, and we became fast friends, a friendship I still cherish to this day. Miss Donna (not her real name, of course) would tell me stories of her life often lamenting the fact that she couldn't write as well as I. Over the course of a year I wrote down several of her stories and gave them to her.
In my mind, however, they were not as good as she told them to me. The fact is no one can tell your story the way you can. And I believe that extends to writing your stories. She always wanted to write about some of the events of her youth and her stuggles to survive as a single mom of five children ... for her children. I encouraged her to do just that; she resisted saying she wasn't a writer.
One day I received an email from here with a story about one of her daughters who had become enmeshed with a cult in Texas. We had talked about this incident before, but her written account brought tears of anger, sadness and joy to my eyes. I still get goosebumps when I read her story of loss, struggles and eventual success--yes, she got her daughter back. Indeed, no one can tell your story like you.
Donna writes only for her family. She hopes to give her written legacy to her children before she passes on, a journey that continues daily. I'm proud to be able to help her.
I have no doubt that each of us has a story to tell from our past. The trials, the emotions, and the joys are what makes us who we are, and that's real drama.
Memoirs or fiction, real or imagined, draw upon those experiences and infuse those emotions and conflicts in your writing. I look forward to reading your next masterpiece.
