I thought I'd try a little something that's been on my mind for a while and then perhaps, you can tell me yours. Below I have placed a mix-matched list of every book, movie and show that has inspired my writings.

P.S. I received my first gift of the year, a small engagement pledge if you will. It is I believe, another example of the way stories and words can manifest, namely in this case and for me, in relation to Lyla's Lake. The Sun and the Moon, on a ring that just happens to only fit my ring finger. Hohum...
