We are often amazed when our friends tell us stories about their families and their lives. When we hear the experiences they have lived through, the stories may seem unbelievable. Then, we try to sit down and write about our own lives...some of our own scary experiences, or some of our happiest experiences. We are amazed, sometimes, at the stories about our lives that could be made into great movies. Real life inspires imagination, especially when we pay attention to what is going on around us.

Most of us don't even realize how our lives are filled with short stories; we live them every day and don't even think about how interesting they can be.

I believe every novel, movie, and probably every TV story could be a real-life event that actually happened to someone.
