Describe a Time When Curiosity Fueled Your Writing: From Our Readers (Comment for a Chance at Publication)
Our upcoming May/June issue is focused on curiosity. So, we would love to know about a time when your inspiration was sparked by your curiosity or you were led to an interesting place in your work by following your curiosity.
Our formal ask: Describe a time when curiosity fueled your writing.
As a writer, I'm always exploring my curiosity. Perusing through a yard sale could have me asking, "What if these pans were owned by a witch?" A late night out in the yard with my dog could have me asking, "When was the last time I really looked at the stars? How was I different from who I am now?" Each of these can bloom into a story that could end in a thousand different ways. How does your curiosity fuel your writing? Has it forced you to change a project in the middle? Has it led to any great discoveries or eureka moments?
