Immortality
Authors are powerful. The stories they weave are the only stories that survive word for word in the same manner from generation to generation. They shape morals, opinions, history, and fact. All in the power of the written word. I desire to use my words to touch and teach others; to finger the strings of the human soul, pulling out the notes of anger, fear, joy, and love. There is so little coherence to our world that without the stories that weave the fabric of life into a whole, we know not how to walk on through trouble. A story can bring wholeness.
