A Good Story

I love a good story and some blog posts read like mini novellas.

I love reading the posts on the3six5. The ingenious project by Len Kendall and Daniel Honigman is a story each day from different people thus the name the three-six-five.

Each writer is given a day and they simply tell a story about that particular day in their life.

I am completely engrossed.

The writers on the3six5 are very good.

I am transported to wherever they are through their words and photos.

And sometimes, I need an escape. Some days there is way too much going on in my world and I can’t simply pack up and head for the hills. So reading about other people’s lives help me get away; just for a moment or so. I read about an exchange student’s time in Ecuador where he described feelings of being homesick, seeing such great poverty, and then such beauty. It was as though I was right there, taking in all the sights and sounds too.

Good writers have that ability.

Now back to reality and the pile of laundry calling my name.
