In The Beginning...
Once upon a time, in a land not so far away there was a mother who dreamed of becoming a published author. She passed the love of words and stories on to her beloved daughter, who also dreamed of seeing her stories in print one day.
They longed to write more often and to write better, but Time was the enemy. Sometimes it took the shape of a horrible beast named Writer's Block. Sometimes it morphed into a darkness that settled upon the creative mind, and then other times it simply sat as doubt; Time in its ugliest form.
When it sat as doubt, they wondered about their writing abilities, about the validity of their stories, and if anyone would ever desire to read their work. However; they had a friend who knew when Time, cloaked in doubt, was present. This Friend was good at coming alongside and wrapping them in a comforting embrace of confidence. This Friend was the Creator of words and the teller of the Ultimate Story. When the Mother and the Daughter felt the embrace of this Friend, all seemed right with the world and the creativity that was stunted in the presence of doubt vanished.
One ordinary day the daughter came upon an unopened gift from their Friend. Not knowing the wisdom that was about to bless her life, she opened the gift. It was a book. A book called Writing Magic! She shared the book with her mother and they decided to work together to write magic themselves.
The following stories are their magic...
With Love,
Mother
