There is this really cool site that I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned on my Live Journal. It was started by a Houston artist and has been supported by a group of gifted people over the years.
The site is called Purse Stories. [ETA in 2022: It is regrettable that this site went away, because it had the only copy of my wee story.] Maybe you don’t think of yourself as a writer, but I think if you read some of the stories on the site, you’ll see how diverse in style and tone they are. Most are very, very short. They offer funny, touching, nostalgic, and thought-provoking writing.
If you’re like Tim and I were several years ago, just reading the stories will make you want to submit one of your own. Maybe you have a memory connected to a purse you’ve owned, or a mother’s, aunt’s, sister’s, or friend’s purse.
If you contribute, let me know, so I can read your story. Or just enjoy reading the many stories on the site, and tell your friends about it.
