1623- The Spaniards explore what would be the Southwest of the United States and bring tortillas with them on their expeditions. 30 years earlier they quickly conquered and colonized the tortilla from the Aztec and planned to distribute it across the world. Francisco de la Tortilla, was the first know Spaniard in the new world to bring back tortillas to Spain.
1775- Paul Revere feeds his horse bits of tortilla before his famous Midnight Ride. No animals were hurt in the process.
1845- Hector Paredes accidently invents the first Quesadilla in Santa Fe, New Mexico, when he runs out of eggs while making himself a breakfast burrito. (more…)
In 1991, Fine Lines began to provide a place where creative writers could share their written ideas with others.

We have published writing from more than twenty different countries. This international, quarterly journal is dedicated to the writing development of all its members. Join now!

“Writing to some people is a joke. To me, it is my life. I have never
been in a place where I have felt so welcome, because of my talent.”
Ellen Garfoot
“I plan to keep on writing, because now, the words just flow in my
head. Before this camp, that did not happen. I think this experience
made me a better writer.” Mandie Livermore
“I enjoyed all the speakers, but I enjoyed most the two boys who played
a guitar and the piano. Their songs sounded like good poems put to
music.” Catie Doran
“This camp was the best experience I have had in a long time, because
not only did I enjoy it, but I could share my writing gift with others.”
Andrea Dai
“I was surprised how many jobs are connected to good writing techniques.”
