“There is something about words. In expert hands, manipulated deftly, they take you prisoner. Wind themselves around your limbs like spider silk, and when you are so enthralled you cannot move, they pierce your skin, enter your blood, numb your thoughts. Inside you they work their magic.”
The name’s Natalie, and I may have a slight quote fetish. Anywho, I’m an avid reader who has always aspired to start weaving her own tales, putting words together in such a way to make others lose themselves in a world of my creation, much like the countless times I have lost myself in the worlds of others. What power words have, that when read on paper transport you to another place, another time. I have had many an idea I wanted to write about, but for some reason, when I tried to put pen to paper, or fingers to keys, the words just wouldn’t come, though I could picture the story, the characters, their world, clearly in my head. My hope in creating this blog is to let the words start flowing through me, getting any random ideas out so that when the time comes, I can put my ideas into coherent words, sentences, paragraphs, and finally a story. So here’s to hoping, I guess.
