“The writer is an explorer. Every step is an advance into a new land.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Writing soothes my soul. When we write, we get to explore more than land. We get to explore the vastness of our minds. We get to explore the universe. It’s interesting that I went to our local book thrift store in search of C.S. Lewis’ Letters to Malcolm. Our bookstore is made up of several shops in one town, and they are organized by genre. So when I brought up C.S. Lewis, he is one of those authors whose work would be in every building: Fiction, Religion, Non-fiction, and Sci-Fi. I actually had no idea he wrote a space series; now I feel like I have to add them to my collection. The point is we gain access to infinitely more as writers. I think it’s a worthy calling.
Speaking of new lands, where have you traveled to? It could be fictionally speaking too.
