That is the basis of a story, isn’t it? All stories start with questions. What if I enter this fantasy world of magic and dragons? What if I reminisce about that time in childhood? What if I poetically ponder on the fields of humanity? And so we answer, and that answer is the Story.

Think of darts on a dartboard. Every time we speak, we aim to hit bullseye with every word we choose. If it lands well, bullseye. But we won’t always be accurate. Sometimes, the words we pick are gusts of wind that make the dart swerve away. Sometimes the board itself will move. But the intent is the same. Writers, or storytellers in that regard, are those who can navigate the winds of misunderstanding to hit bullseye all the time.
