Wordsprings

My scintillating introduction:  The purpose of this site is to discuss writing and books. Hmm. Writing and books as tools, I think. Tools to educate, to build things. People, countries, civilisations. Why not? Words are powerful. Narratives are powerful. They have a way of gathering you up and taking you somewhere, of changing you. You never know where you’ll end up when you write or hear those fateful words, “Once upon a time”.

I know this, because I’ve done it. I didn’t exactly mean to write (four) children’s books, but I seem to have done it. And a few science fiction novels for us grown up children.

So here is a place where I hope readers and writers will join me to talk about this reading and writing habit of ours.  Until we get a little better at telepathy, language is where it’s at.
