I'm back,

I know it's been another long time, but obviously Fantasy has been nibbling at the story I gave her.  She has grown about a half an inch, and I am thankful for that.  Her colors are still pale, but I think I can revive her with my visits, and with some short stories.  This is going to be a blog for some of the short stories which will end up as chapters (or just background) for my novels. 

Fantasy zooms to my palm, and signs to me, "You're back!  I thought you were going to leave me forever this time!"

I sigh in response, "No Fantasy.  You're a part of me, just as I am a part of you; I couldn't leave you even if I tried.  You have brought a deeper understanding of the five girls in the Elementals series, and eventually I'll be sharing their backgrounds with you."

"I can hardly wait!" I am amazed at how I can understand her signing.  My knowledge is so rudimentary, that I would think that I would have trouble, but not so.  Second, she is only an inch tall.  I am legally blind.  How was I able to understand?  Maybe it's because she is a part of me.

"Hopefully it will be soon Fantasy.  I will at least try to come talk with you this week." I look around me.  Green is starting to come to the forest, the same as in Edmonton.  "I WILL nurse you back to health!"

She smiles.

Fantasy's Angry

I don't blame Fantasy for getting angry at me; she is standing there in the forest with her back to me and her arms folded.  After all, it has been quite a while since I came to the glade to meet with her.

"Fantasy." I keep my voice soft and low.  I know she has heard me, for she has turned her head so her right ear is closer.

Humf.

"I don't blame you for being cross with me Fantasy.  I've been busy for the last while, but I thank you for helping me anyway." I say.

Really? She cocks her head.

I sigh, for we have had this conversation a lot lately.  I have been so off and on with this blog, that it's a wonder that she doesn't think I'll ever come back.  "Really Fantasy, I'm sorry.  I really like what we're doing with Sword of Earth now."

Really?  She has turned to face me now.  I nod.  I'm glad.  I sensed that you needed to see more of the world there; you've seen so little, and there is so much more.  Plus, the readers will need to see it.

"That's for sure.  So, what do you think we'll be doing soon?  Will we continue as we are?"

She shrugs her shoulders.  I don't know.  You're the boss.  Just keep me up to date, ok?

"Ok Fantasy.  Think of a writing game for next week, ok." She smiles, nods, and flies off.

Introductions

Hi.  I'm Fantasy.  Michelle and I want to welcome to to our Blog, Fantasy's Fancy. 

Hey Fantasy, wait a minute.  When I said you and I would have a blog, I didn't mean you could take over.

Aw, Michelle....

No Fantasy.  Hold on a minute.  You'll get your turn.  Trust me, ok?

Oh, ok.

Welcome to Fantasy's Fancy.  I am Michelle, and this is my muse, Fantasy.  Fantasy is a brown haired Earth pixie with shimmery blue wings and a green body.  Her dress and shoes are made of leaves and flowers.

Aw, are you going to tell them everything?

<sigh> Fantasy.....

Oh, ok.  I'll be quiet.

Thanks Fantasy.  Anyway, Fantasy and I will be blogging about art and writing ideas in the fantasy realm.  I paint and write.  Jesus and Fantasy are my guides.  I hope you will enjoy the posts ahead.  Do you want to say anything Fantasy?

Silence.

Fantasy?

Silence

Fantasy!

Oh, all right!  Contrary to how I talk, I am a shy pixie.  In the future, if I talk, I'll show a little of myself.  After all, we are friends, aren't we?

We sure are Fantasy, and I hope many people follow our blog and post some ideas.  Hopefully someday, we will make a book of all this, and all the comments will go into it.

Wow, I'll be in a book?

Yes Fantasy.  You'll be in a book.

Cool, and so will you if you want to follow us.  Come and write!
