While I could keep myself occupied for hours with endless scenarios of adventures, I hadn’t fully stretched my imagination. This was evident when every doll and teddy bear that I owned was named “Sue”. The Sue’s and I would spend hours doing everything from tea parties to saving the world.
Disney movies, The Brother’s Grim, Doctor Sues and Mother Goose greatly influenced my adventures.
As I got older, life’s realities; like the politics of the time, the raw new trend of divorce, the emergence of black pride and the technology boom; coupled with the sonic boom of the comic book explosion and big adventure movies became huge influences over my imagination.
In my late teens and early adulthood, I started channeling my passions and frustrations into my writing; but I still felt like I wasn’t tapping into my full story telling potential.
It wasn’t until one midnight that a friend introduced me to an animated series that awakened the part of my imagination that had been slumbering. I felt like my eyes had been opened and my mind was aerated!
Now I can share with you the growth of my imagination- Enjoy!voir moins
