Back in 8th grade, I wrote a few paragraphs about a fictional character- Rose Watkins. The idea came to me in study hall, and I wrote a short page for an assignment. Even now, after two years and three computers, I still have that file. I opened it up to see if I could use it. I was surprised because I had forgotten what my story was like. I eventually ended up keeping just two and a half sentences from the original, but it told the same story, but better.
The story is about Rose Watkins, a sixty-something retired, widowed, and wealthy lady, who realizes one night that she wants to do something more than eat nice dinners before she can't anymore. I'm not sure what she'll do- neither is she. I'm sure it's going to be a lot of fun for both of us.
Anyway, if I was able to take the best part of my old story, I'm looking forward to repeating the process.
