It is fun when you discover something about someone with whom you have an incredibly close relation. It unlocks something in each of you and the relationship itself.
This is true with stories too. They may start off as something expected yet hold the ability to surprise. Or perhaps, they open the door to an area of suspense and turn out to become one of your favorite tales.
Why are we talking about this?
Because whether you’re reading someone’s work or creating it yourself, you hold those opportunities like little treasures. While no stories that are universally loved, just go read one-star reviews for your favorite books on any website, many stories are the favorite of several readers.
Searching can be fun on its own. However, finding those stories for yourself is a great deal like discovery that unexpected piece of a puzzle.
Now, back to what kicked this off. When I saw their unusual little pastime, we had some playful banter regarding how much I appreciated their whimsy. While I very much appreciate it, I enjoy creating whimsy as well. Most of the time, I use words, characters, far flung lands, and even a bit of suspense. They all play a role and represent different shades of color on my palate.
I’m going to give a peek at the bit of whimsy I got to discover….
Surprises like this make everything better. Seek it out for yourself and let it fill you with joy.
Enjoy the Journey. We’re all on it together.
