The history of the date is quite significant from several occurrences going back as far as 1066. The Norman conquest began way back then on this date.
In 1322 Robert the Bruce defeated Edward II at the Battle of Old Byland forcing Edward to accept Scotland's independence.
For writers everywhere, Winnie the Pooh appeared in 1924 in a collection of stories by A. A. Milne. The character was created when a teddy bear was bought in Harrods, London alongside visits to bears in London Zoo. The first story was commissioned by the London Evening News to be published on Christmas Eve 1925.
A. A. Milne
Alan Alexander Milne was an English writer best known for his books about the teddy bear Winnie-the-Pooh, as well as for children's poetry. Milne was primarily a playwright before the huge success of Winnie-the-Pooh overshadowed all his previous work.
A. A. Milne wrote stories about Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends for his son, Christopher Robin, after he heard Christopher use voices for his toys while playing with them. A. A. Milne named the boy in the book Christopher Robin too!
Stories can be generated from anywhere and for a plethora of reasons. There isn't a formula for success because sources of stories are infinite. We tend to hear about the quirky beginnings but my opinion is that there is no one formula to guarantee success. You just have to keep trying.
“People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.”
A. A. Milne
God Bless
