Author Time

I enjoy spending time with my writer friends! They help fuel my fire and help me to grow! Recently I hosted a writer's conference, taught by Tristi Pinkston (who also writes with the pen name of Amelia Adams )and Kirsten Osbourne. They have accomplished so much in the author-world! The information and help they provided was generous, helpful,  and  dynamite!

While camping this weekend I took a break from writing,  and  read a couple of books, one title from each of these friends.  I thoroughly enjoyed my journey into their creative styles and stories! 
​
 And it got me thinking! It's an author's personality which breathes life into  characters on the written page! Without that individual spark, the character's would be as limp, and one-dimensional, as the paper they were conceived upon! Call it literary DNA. So individual style is essential to  reader's enjoyment! (Not every author is going to be your favorite; call it clashing styles, perhaps.) But I enjoy literally getting sucked into the story, making friends with characters, scenes, and situations which did not exist to me before I picked up the book.
