In fact, I sort of live in the story I'm writing (or it may be the other way around). This can be a problem when I start calling my loved ones the names of my characters, or forget where I'm driving, or miss appointments. That's why there are tablets all around my house, in the car, in my purse. Ideas come from everywhere. It's like the world, the clouds, dogs, strangers in weird hats want to tell me stories, if only I would listen. If my inspiration ever wanes, there is always poetry. Reading poems is a good way to get into the zone. And meditation. And muffins.(less)

Life can be difficult with all its demands, but everything external disappears in the quest for the perfect word, sound, and meaning of what I am writing. There are no limitations when it comes to the imagination. But we do have to rein it in to a degree. I love the sharing part. (less)

Magnificent review by Pratibha Malav!!

Robin Gregory’s “The Improbable Wonders of Moojie Littleman” is a heartwarming and deeply imaginative tale that weaves together magical realism, mysticism, and the universal quest for belonging. This award-winning debut introduces readers to Moojie Littleman, an orphan with physical disabilities and a mysterious destiny, whose journey is as extraordinary as it is moving.

Majenta shared a highlight from
Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
I would’ve quit ages ago. I would’ve gone to the boss and told him just what I think from the bottom of my heart. He would’ve fallen right off his desk! How weird it is to sit up at the desk and talk down to the employee from way up there. The boss has trouble hearing, so the employee has to step up quite close to him.

Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
The stresses of trade are much greater than the work going on at head office, and, in addition to that, I have to deal with the problems of traveling, the worries about train connections, irregular bad food, temporary and constantly changing human relationships which never come from the heart.

Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
The dreary weather (the raindrops were falling audibly down on the metal window ledge) made him quite melancholy. ‘Why don’t I keep sleeping for a little while longer and forget all this foolishness,’ he thought.
