I pretended I was looking at the pictures so my parents wouldn't find out my secret, but I was busted a year later, after my mother had begun suspecting I knew how to read. Those fairytales really subconsciously prepared me for the fact that life isn't all rainbows and kittens, and inspired much of the subject matter and themes in my own writing from a very young age.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568183101637683554.post-21168080595513082972015-02-12T20:40:55.933-05:002015-02-12T20:40:55.933-05:00man, do I LOVE fairy tales! and I say 3 is the lie...man, do I LOVE fairy tales! and I say 3 is the lie! :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181207761130079393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568183101637683554.post-34575536588448066272015-02-12T18:16:24.764-05:002015-02-12T18:16:24.764-05:00Great excerpt.
