The day after Christmas, I took my grandson, my daughter, my son-in-law, and a friend, to see the Christmas lights at Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens in Akron, Ohio. The home, now a museum and tourist destination, was originally owned by F.A. Seiberling, the founder of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company. Every year, the home is decorated with approximately 1.5 million lights. It’s truly magical. I never get over the wonder and beauty of all those lights shining in the darkness.
To be a writer is to be someone who does something magical. With vivid descriptions, writers transport readers out of their reality to other places and times – with words, they cause them to feel emotions they’ve never before experienced – with apt portrayals, writers introduce readers to people they would never have met otherwise. What writers do is absolutely magical. As magical as Christmas lights shining gloriously in the dark of a winter night.
