“Men are idolaters and want something to look at and kiss and hug, or throw themselves down before; they always did, they always will; and if you don’t make it out of wood, you must make it out of words.”
–Oliver Wendell Holmes
Words are the things of which thoughts are comprised; thoughts become ideologies and beliefs, which in turn become the things from which we sculpt the truths we live in. Whether sacred, secular, or obscene.
Words are also the things of which stories are comprised.
I find that I want to—need to—grab words, grapple with them, coax them to life, and make of them stories.
Some day not very far off I believe I will find myself the co-creator of a few very good ones. I feel it. Regardless, it is a thing I must do.
Literary Love,
