Your life: the next great story

Today I want to pause and appreciate the art of good?writing. Not the skim-the-label-to-check-what-hidden-ingredients-exist writing on packages or the check-what-new-assignment-I-have content in emails. I’m thinking of the writing that keeps our minds churning way after we turn the final page. Or that new book with relatable characters, fresh plot, and vivid imagery that reminds us to curl up in a blanket by a window overlooking blooming gardenias somewhere with no preoccupation in mind. That kind of writing leaves loyal readers gasping for more and innovative authors eager to write.
Sometimes, in moments like these, we can escape our present worlds to enter an entirely new reality. We stand alongside the protagonist, ready to conquer the adventure ahead. Something like?A Tale of Two Cities,?where we find ourselves anxious beside Lucie Manette, braving danger amidst the tumultuous French Revolution. Or we watch?Atticus Finch?in the court room during the times of racial segregation. What about adventures with?Jane Eyre, the orphan who despite her dingy appearance and background can’t help but draw people into her life with a quite word and witty nature?
