Stories can be life changing.
For me, there have been so many times when stories have been a lifeline. An escape from a world I don’t understand. A port in a storm, a refuge.
When I’ve been lonely, fictional characters have been my friends, whether reading books or writing stories.
Fiction is powerful, fiction is also underated.
Fiction can change lives.
Don’t underestimate the power of fiction.
