Ellitoe's Egg.  The story behind this story is interesting, I believe.  After years of writing, I was talking to a group of kids in their early teens, including one of my daughters, who had a writing assignment for school and were moaning and complaining that they just "couldn't get started."   I told them I felt there was no such thing as "writer's cramp" or "white paper syndrome."  I told them that a good writer could write at the drop of a hat, any time, any place, in any manner.  To show this, I immediately sat down at the computer and wrote this short story.  I wrote in the vernacular just for fun.  Once done, I read it to them.  It was edited a bit for grammar and spelling (I wrote so fast, I messed up a few things), but otherwise, the story stayed the same.  It was a bit hit, and it remains one of my wife's favorite stories.  I created the cover a bit later.  The result is a product I hope you like.  Of course, I would like to know what you think of "Ellitoe's Egg."
