Personal Goal For Now

For now, my goal is simple. I would like to finish a goal I have had for so long now - one of my first goals as a kid - to create my first story in book format. It's a story I hope that's beloved and resonates deeply with people, lingering long beyond the page and is cherished in any new media we use in the future - something that touches people's hearts and they want to keep and remember.

I believe that the form for that is a book because it is simple and you can hold it in your hands and maybe even stash it in a back pocket, put it in your backpack or purse and take it anywhere you go. It's something people hold dear and want to share; something that takes them along a journey with me. I think when people care enough to take your story in whatever format (book, Kindle or other) with them on their journeys, that's when you have created something special. :) It is personal that way to each individual. Love that.

Maybe in the future, people will be beaming stories using something like Star Trek's insignia by then as they travel. I see people traveling more and learning on the go more in the future. :)

 

Depth - A Reason I love Books So

I love books because of many reasons. One of the most compelling is depth. You can take almost any element in a book - a character, a setting or a time period itself - and it has back story built right into it. Books offer a wonderful format for depth - depth in understanding and appreciation. Books invite you to explore. I love that.
