About This Newsletter

Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.
~ Dr. Seuss

We don't create a fantasy world to escape reality. We create it to be able to stay.
~ Lynda Barry

Letter from the editor

When writing fiction you can let your imagination roam free. Even in the real world, you are free to create new small towns, creatures of various backgrounds, change it all up however you'd like. Building something from nothing is a whole new story, literally, and you have to build it from the ground up. From the air your characters breathe to the food they eat. How's it different? What is different? How are they different? A lot of thought goes into writing fantasy. While many think it sounds easy to start from scratch, it really isn't.

Once you've covered your ground, described every nook and cranny, went beyond description to help your reader out, you still question if they'll see it clearly or if they'll see what you see. Down the road, when the story is finished, you'll start questioning yourself again. Did you add too much of one thing? Will it bore the reader? An endless tirade of doubts, erasing and editing, until you don't even know what you started with in the first place and if you removed a vital part of the story.

Perhaps, you should consider this. Your readers have their own imagination and they will never see the exact same picture as you. The secret is in giving your readers enough for them to be able to visualize certain parts of your writing, while not overwhelming them. Their own mind will fill in certain blanks without knowing.

When the movie Odd Thomas came out, I wasn't too impressed. I saw the whole story a bit differently in my own head. There's a reason why we always say that the book is better than the movie. A lot of it has to do with your own interpretation of it. We use the writer's words yet combine their imagination with our own. It's bound to have a better impact than most movies which started out as a book.


'Til next time!
