Then I begin to wonder: How does one articulate, in words, all the thoughts and scenarios that play in one's head. I think this as I am reading and in awe at the ability of authors to envision new worlds and characters (all bits and pieces of people they know, themselves, and imagination. They plot out the major points of events and people
and skillfully fill in the detail - it's a bit of beautiful, practical magic.
