Mother’s Day 2023 and Growth

It was an interesting Mother’s Day this year. Before any festivities, my wife and I went on a walk to a local sports park nearby. It turned out that there was a hiking trail there that I did not know about even though I have lived here for about two years. That night, our family had dinner. It was nice not being the only single family member amongst my married siblings who also have children. These days, less people are getting married and having children, so it is times like this that give good reason to get married have children, and see them grow to the point where they have children themselves.

My writing journey was one of growth as well. I did not think that my love of fantasy would start by playing the video game, Dragon Warrior (Dragon Quest), on the NES. Subsequent video games, movies, books, and a lot of anime would eventually nurture my fascination with the fantasy genre. It would eventually get to the point where as an adult, I would literally create my own fantasy adventures with my own characters, worlds and stories. I suppose that it just was not enough for me to partake, but create.

I can only hope that audiences will have the same experience from my stories as I did with all the other stories that I indulged in. Who will be the readers, who will want more of what I wrote, and how will they enjoy my stories? These are all questions that I am curious to find out.
