A little of the old Grimm tales gets the creativity flowing; that's for sure. I kept itching to stop and write and will definitely file these away in the future writing prompts folder.On the other hand, while I know these are children's stories, written long ago, the constant obsession with becoming...
Things that Grimm's has taught me:- If you do not have a suitable insult for someone, "simpleton" will work in any situation.

He basically copy & past...
