M.L. Harveland
I love everything about being a writer.
One of the biggest elements of writing is reading; it’s from where I draw my inspiration. I read everything I can get my hands on, and then voraciously consume all that I can: the author’s world, the characters, how every word was joined into a marriage of delicious prose.
That formation of words to literature is writing at its primal stage, where the thrill begins. The raw process of writing is one from which I derive great pleasure. I relish in the sound of fingertips tapping at keys; the resonance of worlds awakening, characters breathing, a tale enfolding. Then, comes the surprising delight when the story takes the path unintended, and I have the privilege of being the purveyor of its new journey.
Writing is giving and receiving. As a writer, one gives life to characters and an environment, and then gives them sustenance through readership. When readers share how they felt interwoven with my imagined world and characters’ lives, and explain that emptiness they felt upon leaving that world, it is sincerely the ultimate gift for this writer.
