My life story is so open and shut, that I wouldn't know where to find the mystery.
BRIAN ALTON COLE
I have many author friends, and one of my goals is to read the stories that they write. My question is, who is first on the list?
BRIAN ALTON COLE
With my imagination, a story is only a thought away and the time to write it.
BRIAN ALTON COLE
There are so many answers to this question. Escaping reality is one answer, but the enjoyment of the book I hear about when people finish a good story is the best of the best. I think for a writer, reading that review makes it all worth the many hours spent writing.

If I have a block, I take my mind off the story and do something else. Sometimes, I find that once I sleep on it, I wake up to new ideas and plots!
BRIAN ALTON COLE
Yes, but I'm staying out of politics.
BRIAN ALTON COLE
Probably one of my creations. In many of my stories, I develop worlds that fit the plot or the characters. Usually, they are the kind of places that would be nice to visit. What would I do there? That would all depend on my character role.
BRIAN ALTON COLE
Write every day, a little or a lot. Write.

Well over a year ago, my granddaughter began hounding me to write and finish a story with her as the main character. This Christmas season, 2023, I published the story on Amazon. In this story, my 26-year-old granddaughter is an elf queen. It's a fun story to read.
