As a writer I often see people and things that spark my imagination, I often create books based on those sparks. I drove by a park near dusk and noticed a woman sitting in the playground swinging gently. There were no children nearby, she was simply alone and slowly, softly swinging and I wondered why? What brought her to this park at this time and why was she alone?
I had at least two theories ranging from sad to romantic… I couldn’t decide which one I wanted to flesh out so I wrote them both.
1) A date: Something very romantic about that.. but why was she alone? Was he late? Had she been stood up?
2) A loss: Had she lost a child? Was this the anniversary of that date? How had she lost this child? Was it a missing child that she returned everyday to wait for? Was this somewhere she and her sweetheart came? Had he passed in some way?
Everywhere around me I see the opportunity for a story. I often imagine what other people do in their lives.

Kawanee was born in Alexandria Louisiana but her first real memories are of Russellville Arkansas. She's always loved to read, and has always had an vivid imagination. She grew up in a house where almost everyone read, they didn't need a TV although she could still be found planted on her butt in front of her grandma's TV watching cartoons on Saturday mornings.
She made up her first story with her mother when her cat died; it was about where pets go when they die. She continued to create stories from bad dreams she had and her dad would help her change nightmares to stories. They would sit up in a chair until the scary went away. He told her that: "Dreams, good or bad, are just stories your mind makes up. You are the author of your dreams; if you don't like them rewrite them. "
She was hooked and has continued to read and write stories drawing from dreams, sights and just pure imagination. She just recently decided she'd like to try and get published and fail than wonder what if.
Her story continues but where it goes from here is up to you, the Reader... She hopes you'll join her in finding out where her journey goes from here!
