Behind-the-scenes comments on some of the stories
Some stories offer unique challenges or develop in a different direction than expected. I will share these experiences with you.
In the post, Images Which Inspired Collection Two of The Magical Universe, you can see all the images that inspired me during the writing process; some will be mentioned in the comments.
Please be aware I will not share the plot with you, and when you read the final version, you might not recognize the full story from my behind-the-scenes comments.
The Woman in The Tree
I want to share my thoughts on 'The Woman in the Tree' as my first comment. I needed a symbol of love and compassion, which needed to be a physical object, as it had to be handled by several people, and what better symbol than a heart? The heart from the image didn’t work, as I needed a reflection of light from the heart to drive the story forward, so I changed the heart to be made of solid gold.
