As the owner of an advertising agency for nearly 40 years at this point, I’ve found that throughout my lifetime I’ve admired the twin attributes of curiosity and creativity. They seem to stride hand in hand. They inspire, they find new roads, sometimes they even lead to dead ends…but they never fail to enrich your life.
On my Mt. Rushmore of curiosity and creativity, one spot is reserved for Walt Disney. There’s no purpose in going into detail on the man. Everyone knows of him. If you are reading this, he has already impacted your life.
Walt Disney once said, “I resent the limitations of my own imagination.” I get that. I get that when it comes to storytelling it feels like there is an entire universe out there to explore and so little time. A world of words just waiting to be assembled into a story.
I don’t allow myself to think about genres, or word counts, or commercially hot topics, or even what themes are in demand. I just enjoy creating. Enjoy crafting a story that makes readers continue to want to turn the page. Enjoy building up to a satisfying ending. The best book is the one you want to never come to a close because you hate to say goodbye to the characters.
Disney also said, “What we storytellers do is provide hope with imagination. We instill hope again and again and again.” I thank you for visiting my site and exploring my books. I believe you won’t be disappointed and I believe you will be entertained with each story. And if I’ve added some hope and a smile to your life, I’ve done my job.
