THE RAILS OF LIFE


 

I have been posting railroad tracks on my Facebook page. Just like with roads, the tracks point 👉  to a destination.  Writing is like that in that one is headed to a new place.

I can imagine what rail travel was like when railways were being built. You didn't know what you 😏 might discover. An unknown destination. Writing is similar to those rail excursions in that new adventures await. Western novels were popular at once as they told of the rugged exploits of folks who were willing to venture into the unknown.

As a writer, it's my job to turn over those unturned rocks. To the readers they want you to take them to new places. It's what I love about this craft. I can see why it is never mastered. It's good to stay hungry 😋 and travel along the rails of life.
