House On Mango Meets Memory

Recently, I reread Sandra Cisneros' House on Mango Street. I was very inspired by the coming of age stories, and have been playing around with writing my own series of vignettes. Lately, I've been working on my novel so much that I haven't produced much fresh material, so I'm ready to set the novel aside for a bit and start on something new.

Where this project will lead, I'm not sure, but maybe it'll open up avenues of creativity. I imagine that in the beginning, much of what I write will rely on my own experiences, but I expect for the collection to go the fictional route. We'll see.

Today, I worked on my first piece, which is called, "Older Sister." It's so strange living in memory.
