(p. 96) “Arabian Nights plates”<\/p>\n
I’m sure these plates he’s referring to\u00a0are may be fancy engraved heavy plates but when the narrator mentions them, it reminds me of the different types of “eat wear” my grandma and mom collected. We had a lot of pretty china plates that we only used on special occasions like Easter or Mother’s Day but we also had my mom’s Disney Movie Collectable plates too. She has at least six of them, she got them from McDonald’s and each one has the movie cover to a classic Disney movie like Bambi, Dumbo, Cinderella and Hercules. I think we had oe more but I think it broke when we moved from Louisiana to Washington back in 1999. Now that i think about it, i remember my mom making a fuss about one of the movers packing it funky in a box and how it snapped some how. I always imagined that i snapped like a wish bone between my moms even larger collection of M&M’s and the box it was packed in. The only reason I remember these plates so well is because us girls and even my dad was never aloud to eat off them, but I always wanted to because I as a little girl I always wanted to pretend I was spearing Hercules face with a triton as if I were apart of the movie, like a villain. I thought a lot about things like this, pretending I was a tricky villain or a man-eating giant dog. My imagination is still active, this is why I still write. I dabble in writing non-fiction but my strengths are in writing fiction. Particularly, science fiction, horror and fantasy. The only reason I wrote stories about such fantastical subjects is because I felt my life was boring and the stories I wrote were outlets to do and say things that I wouldn’t usually say in “real life.” But now as I begin to write non-fiction\/ autobiographical works, my passion for it is growing because I actually have stories I want to share that I know are worth sharing about my life as a proud single mother. It’s as if i have an entire new audience that can either learn with me from my mistakes, triumphs and struggles but also relate to me as a person<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
