Reading a tale always took me to a world where I would have liked to spend some time instead of the actual one. (My favorite - english speaking - story tellers are Ken Follett, Chris Bachalo and Ambrosia Parsley.)
Writing a tale is like discovering a new world in my own brain and soul. It's pretty cool and also gives me the hope of giving someone else, too, a world to spend some time in. (If you had a nice time in my world, please, let me know - I'm still not convinced if I am or, at least, could be good enough. Thanks!)
