Write in such a way so readers never forget how your book made them feel.

The title seems a bit long here:). However, it's a point I wanted to emphasize. Anyone can write a book, it is the lasting impression it leaves the reader that makes it an exceptional book.

Have you read books that have influenced your way of thinking or even moulded you into the human you have turned into? Are you proud of who you are?

Beautiful thoughts create a beautiful mind, and I believe in that adage, to live a life amidst resplendence.

In this regard, I mean to adore nature and live simply, and you will never regret life. 

This morning I wrote a short article (3 min. read)  on Biopage titled "The Influence of Vivid Imagery & Descriptions in Storytelling." Here's the link:https://www.biopage.com/post/the-influence-of-vivid-imagery-and-descriptions-in-storytelling. Leave me a comment to let me know what you think.

Here's an excerpt:

Dialogues are important structure-building elements of a story. Dialogues add depth, and realism, and are a vital component to effective storytelling. However, stories can be told without them if the imagery and descriptions ignite an interest in a reader's five senses. ‘The Road' by Cormac McCarthy is a fine example of a successful fiction novel without dialogue that won the Pulitzer Prize in 2007. McCarthy concentrates on rich descriptions to attract the reader's senses, adding depth and rhythm to the story. He was so good that his book exemplified the power of descriptive language to pique a reader's interest and win the coveted title.

Happy reading.
