Carston Morrell Per. 3

"So let’s think more, ponder, wonder, meander, maunder..." At first when i was told to write and read The Infinite Suggestiveness  of Common Things. I thought it was going to hard to do. On the contrary it isn't. Patrick Madden talks about how there is a story to everything no matter how big, small, boring, exciting it might be there's a story to be told. For me personally i never thought this way. He said that you can write about anything and I agree with that. We all have stories to tell, sometimes you just have to dig deep to tell them. While it may be hard like Madden said they are the stories worth sharing.
