I often say “words come alive the moment we let them exist.” For the words we say to others, and the words we write out, have a profound impact on those we intend them for and those we never thought would experience them.

When I think of writing I think of magic.
Magic allows the impossible to happen, a writer builds worlds.
Magic can change the world, and so can a good book.
A pen and paper. Ink and keyboard. Words and miracles.
Writing is magic
