In college I wrote a poem and someone criticized it and I didn't write another for three years or so.

I got divorced. Fortunately, we didn't have children--that would have complicated things.

My daughter jumped on our bed, asking questions about God. She was three years old. It was eleven p.m.

I started working at C____ and in one class we made up an imaginary world, including its government and its religious rituals.
