The Beginning of The Favorite Award

In the attempt to find my footing in the blogging word I have decided to start The Favorite Award.
TFA is completely biased, opinionated and as simple as it sounds. I will simply state my favorite thing and then give a reason.

Why?

It helps me get my head around things that float in my head (And many things just float around in there).

My favorites will include but not be limited to, Books, Authors, Words, Coffee, Music... and all great moms who inspire me.

Stay tuned to find out my favorite quote.

Why I Write Fiction

Fiction, truth reimagined to entertain one's mind.

I love fiction. Many times as a child it saved me from the devastation of reality.

Life didnt seem so bad when I was a mission teacher in Cutter Gap fighting fires and feuds (Christy, Catherine Marshall). When I was falling in love with the romantic strength of a Lori Wick male, all of my worries ceased to exist for that brief moment in time. With Dee Henderson's O'Malley series I felt apart of a huge, loving family. Fiction saved me, it gave me an outlet from reality when I most needed one. Harry Potter gave me something to look forward to, a world so creative I finished each book in a day.

Adolescense is hard and all teens need an outlet, some choose drugs, I chose reading. Reading fiction inspired me to create a world for someone else to get lost in, even for a brief moment in time.
