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?
When Michelle is transported to a world of her own imagination, her only hope of saving her children is to save the fantasy world of her abandoned novel.

I loved the Tom Bombadil scene. It was interesting that he picked up the One Ring and laughed and handed it back. Nature doesn’t care about the powers of trying to rule this world. Also, the following barrow scene with Bombadil coming to the rescue was good too. Far from boring.
The reason today’s readers find the Tom Bombadil scenes in LOTR (and much of English poetry) boring is because they’ve never encountered willows, nightingales, starlings. Your life would be enriched if you knew more about birds and woods and less about Clavicular and mogging.
I saw someone do this on Insta. I tried it. I’m dead. 💀 🤣 AI thinks an upside-down-cup is a “Bottomless” Joke Cup. 🤦🏻♀️

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
O precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Speed reading is overrated. People have different reading speeds that are comfortable for them, some faster, some slower. But intentionally trying to power quickly though a fiction story feels as silly as watching a movie on 2x speed. It’s supposed to be relaxing.
