A long time ago, the path I was on brought me to a fork.  One path leading forward was predictable and safe, the other less so.  I made the practical choice, and I walked that safe path for many years until I reached its end.

Now, all these years later, I find myself back at that fork, and even though there isn't enough time left to follow that less predictable and less travelled path to its end, I can still perhaps wander down it part way, just to see what there is to see.

In my writing, regardless of genre, I explore the emotive.  Engaging readers with an interesting, well-written story is important, but my purpose goes beyond that.  When I write, I seek to captivate readers so they become immersed in the story and invest themselves emotionally in the characters and their circumstances.  Evoking human emotion through storytelling is what separates great writers from good writers, in my opinion.  That is where the magic resides.
