Have you ever wondered what it would be like to sit and talk to local authors about their lives or fictional pieces? Are you ever lit with a question that the burning sensation to speak with them is alive in your heart. Well, I have the literacy flame in my soul. I am able to speak with a number of authors on the daily. It’s intriguing to just sit with them (over social media sites and sometimes in person) and carry on a conversation about life knowing good and well that they are normal just like me.
I get reassurance when I am able to dive into the minds of these great artists to learn what makes them tick as well as why they wanted to write. I see the creativity of a child burn within their eyes while the creative juices flow out of their bodies and onto the paper. It’s a remarkable experience to witness an author shuffle through ideas and write a book.
I was so struck by the limelight created by many of my author friends that I too wanted to create a mystical world for readers to ponder and “Ahh” about. I blog about author and books that I’ve read about to spread the word in hopes that others will in turn enjoy them.
I’ve always had a passion for reading ever since I was in the second grade and learned how to read thanks to “Hooked on Phonics”. It was a blessing in itself because it introduced me to the amazing world of books. Without it my life would not have taken the same path to end up where I am today. I am even working on several Young Adult series that I hope to publish in the future.
What I gained from this the most is to open up to people and leave my walls down. I’m learning better communication skills as well as becoming more of a people person in hopes that somewhere down I wont harbor in my own mental city but spread the word to others.
