Why Write? By Aidan Mc Nally
Why Write? By Aidan Mc Nally
I have penned my memoirs and have found the whole book experience and the business of books an eye opener to say the least. Though, I am quite happy to be learning all the time. It is learning new things that keep me interested, but that’s not all. Why write? Many ask the same question and often. I have written my books not as therapy but definitely as a way to take feelings from inside of myself and put this emotion into and the actual object. How can emotion carry across through text? I don’t really know, to be honest, it just has a way of hitting the readers, I guess. Read More
The Evolution of your Stories by Dennis Scheel
The Evolution of your Stories by Dennis Scheel
Many who wants to write, have many stories within their heads, always running at a nonstop loop, yet they’re not able to get them down on paper. Some can do that, while others first can when they are ready. I was one of those such cases, where I tried writing them, but failed again and again, until the day arrived where I was ready. Writing them down led to the stories playing in my head became less frequent, becoming more into ideas for my stories. What I also learned was how the story I first envisioned in my mind turned out very differently on paper. The time with ideas ‘running amuck’ has left me with many ideas of tales I want to tell.
Why I Write STEM Booksby Lois Wickstrom
Why I Write STEM Books by Lois Wickstrom
Children discover the world around them when they play.
They discover in nature what they will later learn to call science.
My stories grow from this joyous approach to life.
I was lucky. I grew up in a college town. When I found an interesting rock, there was somebody I could bring it to with my questions. I remember finding a geode – a rock with crystals inside. I took it to the college where a professor told me that my rock comes from a river about 30 miles away. Somebody had brought it to our town and abandoned it. Now, it was my treasure. The college had a rock collection from around the world. I joined a rock hunting club that drove out on weekends to explore wild locations in mountains and at lakes, and learned about rocks form in different kinds of places and look different because of how they form.
Yes, There Be Dragons by Greg Scherzinger
Yes, There Be Dragons by Greg Scherzinger
Author’s note
Dragons h
ave long held the fascination of men, related in the oldest of myths. Tales abound of Oriental beasts of great power and Norse monstrosities guarding treasure. Numerous accounts from the ancient lore and traditions of Wales, Nubia, Greece, and Rome, suggest the myths may have origins in the great water snakes of the Nile, giant crocodiles, even whales, whose bones may have been found bleached on some antediluvian shore.
For a long time, I have wanted to include them in my tales, though none of my stories to date had a place for them and they are certainly not beasts a writer should throw around gratuitously. In ‘The Henna Witch’, dragons could exist within the deep reaches of the uncharted lands, even necessary in such a dark place, and so they were born, gargantuans who share a common mind. Their presence was felt early as Ashia and her entourage entered the abysmal swamps. Read More
