Why I Write

Perhaps we won’t be the unlikely hero that changes the course of history, but we will affect the lives around us. The question is: will it be for the better?

Newbie writer: Dialogue is about information. Characters need to say what they are thinking and give the reader facts.

Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
and mortal life shall cease:
I shall possess, within the veil,
a life of joy and peace.
