In April, I woke up one morning, out of the blue, and there was a sort of voice in my head. Not exactly a voice, but sort of a telepathic thing, saying, “You will now write the Purple Fables, there will be four of them, and you will do one in each day and the title is to be Purple Fables,” and I said okay.
