Welcome to My World

My imagination is my playground. As a kid, I would dictate the stories as my friends and I played make-believe. As I got older, the medium in which I created stories shifted from children like myself, to words. Fantastic, magical words. As an 18 year old, telling my friends that they should pretend there is a dragon farm in my backyard, and our job is to care for, tame, and ride them would get me a one way ticket to a mental asylum. 

So now I just pretend to tame dragons in my head. (For the record, that means I'm not insane)

Writing (fiction) is a peculiar form of art. It is not heard or seen; it's imagined. You can see it, sure, but to appreciate it's beauty, you work with the author to immerse yourself into a movie that takes place in your head. Without an active imagination, you might as well just read a math textbook for all of the good you are placing in the story.

As someone who loves to share her experiences, I want to make sure they are interesting to read about. I do my best to observe the world around me and show the things I see through my writing. If an author doesn't do his or her job, then the readers might actually find that math textbook to be more interesting. Creative writing should engage your mind and entice your senses. It should create an entirely new perspective of the world-- a combination of two perspectives. 

So with that, I will do my best to create something memorable from my life experiences to share with the earth. My name is Heather Sucharski; welcome to our world.
