Happy Friday! The other day I began thinking about what I like about writing. Its akin to hosting your own theme party.

Here are a few bonbons for thought:

• Set the stage for a grand fete with all your favorite characters in attendance. Beautiful imagery with words draws others into the celebration.
• Need a pity party? A sadder story is never told when we are feeling as if the world is against us. Relate the experience in great detail with raw, heart-wrenching emotion.
• What would a movable feast look like? Take a journey in your imagination to a far off place.  Describe the garb, the people, the food that decorates the table. What does it taste, smell and look like?
•  You say “you want to get down and dirty?” How about a thriller?
• A fantasy tale with a carousel of amusement from fairies and elves is always a rousing good time.
