I always enjoyed the movies of Anne of Green Gables.  I considered myself like Anne and dreamed of being like her even though she is fictitious.  I would often imagine myself like her when she was at the beach in the sequel and she decided to sit down and write down her thoughts, unfortunately became to dreamy and pretending to swoon like her character did in her story, she lay down and her papers blew everywhere.  So far, that has not happened to me yet...but it could. 

The story is set during the Victorian Era, which is one of my favorite era's in history.  I am a person who loves fancy dresses and am always looking for dresses like hers or sewing patterns to design dresses like hers.  Anne loves to read, I love reading too.  One of Anne's mistakes was to read Ben-Hur during classes, thankfully I have never done that. 

Anne became a teacher of a college and directed plays.  I have amazingly and thankfully, also been given the opportunity to do this at my church.

Now, hopefully I do not write silly stories like Anne was accused of doing by her best friend Gilbert...everything I have written comes from ideas but mostly the Lord.  I could not write without His guidance on many things.  There are times when I get stuck and don't know what I should do.  I always pray before I start a new story project.  

Josephine March from "Little Women," was also an inspiration to me.  I always enjoyed the part where she went to the publishers to get her first stories published by the newspaper; now her first ones were nonsense as stated by the Professor Baer, but she learned from that and later wrote a better story/novel.  I loved how she had her own special spot upstairs in the attic to write and create her stories.  I don't have a special spot to write, but whenever I get the time to write, it is very relaxing to me.  Jo would sometimes cry while writing her stories.  Some may ask if this really happens to authors?  I admit, it does.  I have cried on some of mine that I wanted to make a point or hopefully move the readers or audiences. Jo started a reading club with her sisters and her neighbor.  I did this a few years back but it only lasted for so long then people lost interest, but it was fun and I did enjoy the time I got to do it and those who stuck with it.
