Just as a violinist spins music out of notes,

so a story can be spun out of words.

Words which arc up into the space

between the writer's pen

and the reader's mind.

Words that are beautifully fashioned jewels,

spinning out to create delight, capture mood

and explore ideas.

This is what I try to do as I spin my stories.
