It's incredible what one can do with only a pen and paper. With the right combination of 26 letters you can take a journey to another world filled with endless possibility. Words can fill you with emotions that you would think impossible from such simple symbols. You come to love fictional characters so easily and find yourself sharing their happiness and sorrows. Others twist you in knots because of their close proximity to reality. They are not good or evil, but an ever tilting scale trying to find a balance between the two. We see in them our own struggles and can not help but feel compassion for them. Their fictional woes can give us physical pain. Their triumphs bring smiles to our faces. Their stories bring us hope for our own lives.
Words are more powerful than we could ever know. Having the ability to use them to take others on unforgettable journeys and to bring characters alive is a gift that needs to be cherished and nourished. Remember that scribbles can take you anywhere and the flip of a page has the possibility to change your life.
