I am especially moved by your 100-word story on losing your mom, Erica. I lost my mom in 2017, too. Seven years motherless. Everyone says. "Let it go, move on, the grief will pass." They are wrong. Grief does not go away. One just learns to make room for it in one's life. I have found that writing chapters of my mom's remarkable life helps to keep her alive and with me. I would love to see a story about your mom.
Nice to hear your voice come through these answers, Erica. It is often easy to forget the story of the author hidden behind the made-up stuff. Happy new writing year.
