Storyteller’s Creed

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge.

That myth is more potent than history.

That dreams are more powerful than facts.

That hope always triumphs over experience.

That laughter is the only cure for grief.

And I believe that love is stronger than death.

Take a Look Around...

"I Don't Feel Like Killing Every Cat!"

  ...that would make me a murderer.
  Howdeedoodeethere, folks! Some of you expressed interest in the NaNoWriMo deal, so here's some more info:
  To sign up for the regular 50,000 word novel, then click HERE to go directly to the sign-up page. Just make sure to get your parents' permission (since you'll probably have to use their email address...) or convince them to let you get your own.
  OR if you think you're just not up to the regular old 50,000 word novel, then just click HERE and you will go to the Young Writer's Program, in which you give yourself a word count goal. That's right! You set your own goal -- but you've got to reach it.
  More news: I don't know about the prizes or whether they actually exist. I DO know that in the official contest, anyone who reaches 50,000 words is a winner and gets a certificate and eternal glory in the NaNoWriMo hall of fame and also eternal glory in the LOTP hall of fame! That's a pretty good deal to me.
  All those who fail to reach 50,000 words get a pat on the back, a participation award, and no glory.
  I hope that info was helpful, and trust me, YOU WANT TO SIGN UP! If it isn't official, then you may lose heart. They do a pretty good job, I think, of making sure that you just keep going. That's the goal, in the end. No matter how hard...just keep going.
  Who knows? This might become a Lords of the Pencil tradition!

  "Anything's better than Detroit!"
  "Hey, don't forget what a nice place Detroit can be."
  "Right...Who told you that?"
  "Well...James did."
  "Yeah, sure, great place, especially with all the poverty, gangs, evictions, crimes, murders, and much, much more!"
  "Gangs? There were gangs there, James?"
  "Oh...right. I guess I forgot about all that stuff."
  "You let me walk around that place without telling me about all these threats?"
  "Well, you're okay now!"
