Storytelling is a Superpower
Warning: Feeling Inspirational
The realm of Storytelling is where I go when my world is in peril. I usually begin by reading stories. This gives me pure inspiration to create something of my own. I can usually get a concept pretty quickly either by reading or also from watching a TV series or a film.
Creating a story and actually publishing it can be really scary. I always get butterflies even if I feel like the story is actually pretty good. Yet the more I press the keys and actually submit really helps calm my nerves and break down those massive walls of anxiety constraining me.
It's actually pretty comical to think about how we're writers, yet get scared to write and share. Like isn't that the point? I've always got ideas rolling around upstairs. Hopefully I can get each of them out of my mind and on here sooner than later. Fingers crossed. Whether you're a New York Times Best Seller or a basement blogger like me we're all creative and talented, so enjoy each and every second of this compelling journey. We're the Billie Eilish of our own stories so live it up and always be creative!

B. A. Durham’s False Memories blends dream and reality in a seamless mix. As his father, afflicted by Alzheimer’s, fades away, the narrator is haunted by a dream that may be a memory, returning to him insistently. The piece is full of wonderful detail (the father touching his lip where once there was a mustache, “but now he is clean-shaven—he has been for years” — and moving in revealing the complexities of a family’s life. A worthy winner which shows the power of dreams to influence us.

New York Times Best Seller or a basement blogger ... wow! I don't fit in either category. I am guessing I am closer to a basement blogger than the other though 😉Love your positivity! ❤️
I love reading and watching movies or a tv show! They always inspire me to create! I used to get scared to share my writing but haven't been that way since I joined Vocal. The Vocal community is so kind and supportive! Looking forward to read more of your work!
Ha, 😆The Billie Eilish Incredible inspiration, Thank you for sharing❗
