"Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else."
― George Orwell, 1984

I greatly enjoy a captivating story of love, struggle, and the common human condition. Writing is magical. It is a meeting place where we can all create our own worlds. We fall in love with characters that seem more real than what happens in the physical world. It is a shared portal into the consciousness of author and reader alike.  The stories that we pass along shape the world we live in. The generations after us will laugh, cry, fear,  and learn from the stories we tell today.
