The Challenges (and Advantages) of Writing Stories About Chickens

In my author bio, I’ve said that while I often produced small writing and drawing projects over the years, I never found my creative purpose until I decided to raise some baby chicks. You may be wondering “Why?” I’ve asked myself that many times. Writing about chickens as main characters definitely has its challenges, but it also has some unexpected rewards.
Your chicken stories are so touching. I don't think about their physical limitations. I think once people get into the stories, those kinds of thoughts fade into the background.
To know that you have touched one heart is so gratifying. To know you have touched hearts all over the world is humbling and affirming and inspiring. One friend of mine has this saying on her email page: "One drop of wisdom can change the world." And children are the best place to begin quenching a thirst for wisdom of the heart.

I have so many friends who love chickens. I've been sharing your substack newsletter.
