My inspiration for my short stories come from my "what if" imagination. I think of scenarios out of the clear blue sky (or in the middle of the night) and wonder, "what if?" One of my favorites of mine is about a woman who hears the emergency broadcast system on her TV and what happens afterwards. My husband and I were having an ice cream sundae at the bay and some people were next to us just hanging out and listening to the radio when the test of the emergency broadcast system came on. I was thinking to myself, "What if it were really an emergency? Would they come over to us to talk about it? Would we rush home or call our family first?"  A million things went through my mind and it made for my story, We Interrupt This Program. In fact, that one had to be one of the easiest to write and the fastest because I had the entire scenario in my head. That's not always the case and especially not with the Wicked Women Writer Challenge. With that one, I was given a scenario or tools if you will, to work with and making everything fit was exactly fitting for the name, a challenge.
