A book is always a great gift. One with special meaning resonates with the receiver because thought was put into it.
My daughter gave me a wonderful gift. I love dragons (hence Blue Dragon Publishing). But because I love reading about them, I felt any story I came up with has already been done. I had no confidence to move forward. My daughter wrote me a poem called “The Silent Mountain.” Then she wrote three starting scenes to shape my dragon book. As she read them to me, I could see the next scene and the next. It was the best writing prompt I have ever received and an extremely thoughtful gift. That prompt became The Dragons of Silent Mountain.
One of Blue Dragon’s authors had been researching the genealogy of her family and gathering pictures. She put them together in a stunning book (The Jared Line) to give to her family, to be passed down for generations to come. Better still, others with the Jared last name may stumble upon her research, and it will add to their own, giving more depth and meaning to the gift she created.
In the digital age, writing your own book is not out of the realm of possibility. Do you have a story to tell? No excuses. Get writing!
