By Joyce Jacobo
[Author’s Note: Dedicated to all those stories that make our lives so magical. ^_^]
A well-written story . . .
is like a lucid dream
where words
melt
away
into
meaning
A well-written story . . .
becomes an enchantment of experiences
woven with much time and effort
then offered as a gift from the author
To us the readers
As our two realities connect—author and readers
We generate a private space all our own
Where we can enjoy
Imagination at play
A well-written story . . .
remains in the minds
of those it has entered
even after they have moved
onto other worlds
It lingers like a companion
… throughout their lives
Beautifully written Joyce

That’s exactly why some people like a certain piece and others not so much – it’s not only the author’s world that creates part of the magic, but the reader with their experiences and feelings is responsible for a portion of it.

Agreed. I love that the individual perspectives of writers and readers can make any text a personalized experience in that way. It’s just incredible.
