Tuesday Tidings: Stories And What I Love About Them

                                                                     
                                   Stories 

They are all around us. Reading is such a big part of our world. In fact, my family has an entire wall in our living room that is devoted to books. I love books. I love reading. I sleep, breath and dream books. (No, I do not eat books.)

       

My favorite kind of books are the action/romance/adrenaline-rush type. 

                                     

                                   

                                    

We, as humans in God's likeness, like to create. We create with our imagination, we create with our hands. God likes to create, so we like to create. My favorite thing to create is a story. Sometimes I can write a story in a matter of days, but sometimes they are more thought out, and require a month or two. But I just love to be able to create something that others can enjoy on a daily bases.  I wrote a story for my mom for Christmas. It started out as something that I was supposed to make as an essay for an exam. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I am a natural writer. How do I know? I know because it's something inside me. I know, because when my exam calls for a five paragraph essay, I give them a seven chapter book. That... Is how I know. I have always liked writing. Writing as a subject for school, writing stories, writing letter's to people, writing about a sermon I heard. I just love writing. But to be able to write a story, and bring characters to life, that takes talent. Anyone can write a story. We all have the ability to think up something and eventually put it down on paper, but it takes a special kind of talent to be able to keep your reader on their toes, to write a story so compelling that your reader just can't put the book down, because they just HAVE to find out what happens next. I don't know if I have that kind of talent, but I know that somewhere deep inside of me, the writer is just waiting for the perfect story to write about. And when that perfect story comes along, my personality will come alive with imagination. I have experienced this quite a few times, but someday, I hope to become an actual Author. To be able to write something that the whole world (Or just the U.S.A) will read about. But I think the best part, is when you write a short story for someone you love, and watch as they read it for the first time. It's like magic! I love being able to express my personality through my writing. Thank you all for reading this.
