Rough Waters
When have you navigated rough waters, literally or metaphorically?
Calling Sailors, Surfers, Swimmers and Fisherfolk.
Calling Sailors of the sea of life, Surfers of the waves of emotions
Swimmers who've swum against the tide, Fisherfolk who lament the one that got away.
When have you struggled to keep you're head above water.
Where have you sailed from rough to calm waters.
When has rough water transformed into bouncy bubbling waves of happiness?
What's your rough waters story??

Storytelling Guidelines
Long Story Short is a warm, supportive, community space for all storytellers and story lovers.
Long Story Short is open to any and all genres of story but we ask that kindness and common sense prevail - misogynist, racist and homophobic stories hurt people: we exist to build community spirit.
Personal stories should be worked through and not raw.
Stories should be no more than ten minutes in length and told orally, without notes.
