Colorful Prose is a mostly fictional creative outlet for the author who hasn’t yet quit her day job. Any resemblance of the characters found within to real people, living or dead, is purely coincidental. I hope you enjoy the colorful prose (and poetry, which I find much more challenging) and post lots of comments to suggest ways in which I can make my writing better!
