But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. ―
Writing for the young at heart, not necessarily the young.
You are a part of a bigger picture. Every decision you make, every choice, affects those around you.
Why I Write
In a world of harsh realities, we need the magic of imagination. Some might call this “escapism,” but I believe fiction can inspire us to see the world in a different light. 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?

I don’t care about experts or critics. That’s not who I’m writing for. I don’t need a study to tell me what makes a good book (that’s subjective anyway). I write for those searching for stories of hope found in darkness (with bit of childlike wonder and a dash of weird).
Oh your indie book is good?
Got any experts to back that up?
Any studies to show for it?
12yo son calls my writing time “writing rage.”
Him: “In the 1700’s when reading and writing became popular, they were called “reading rages” and “writing rages” and people thought they were a waste of time.”
His point? I should stop writing and play a video game with him.

✍️ My Dearest (friend’s name),
It has been so long since I last received a communication from you that I was compelled to write for fear that I had committed some unintended injury to your feelings in our last conversation.
As much as I procrastinate, you’d think my house would be cleaner. @PastorSZ
The last one is especially true! Right, author friends? 😂👩💻
