RENEE CRONLEYMonsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.
—Stephen King Your friend is about to select a horror movie on Netflix; your reaction is… A) Are you crazy? I’m not watching that crap! At least watch it during the day and preferably when I’m not here. I’m serious, if you put that on, I’m locking myself in the bedroom and watching something else. B) Are you crazy? It’s not dark enough yet! At least wait until the sun goes down, then we’ll turn off all the lights and watch it before we go to bed.

renee cronley“Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood.” —T.S. Eliot Poetry means different things to different people. It’s a special form of artistic expression because so much needs to be said with so few words. My favourites are the ones that engage the five senses and pack a sensory punch while maintaining form, cadence, and emotional appeal. I love the way a poem strikes the ear with the turn of a rhyme and its use of various literary devices. Renee Cronley“You’re never going to kill storytelling because it’s built into the human plan. We come with it.” —Margaret Atwood Storytelling is often associated with an earlier “analogue” age: an era of paintings and tales around the campfire, but they’re so much more than that. Stories are universal and an integral part of being human. They are how humanity has communicated since the beginning of time by passing along morals and knowledge across generations and connecting us to a history of values. Storytelling has a way of preserving sequences of events with raw emotions and spreading information about wars fought, lessons learned, and good deeds that were done. |
