insight from Author Jane Marla VerDow
My heart mission and each vision confirmed that I would write Dear Daisy in Early American style.
So this is where I started.
A writer with a vision and a dream.
How absurd this dream of mine when measured against logic.
Me, an author? I didn't even like to read and as a child reading was the last thing you would have found me doing on a summer day or even on a winter's day with drifts of snow barricading my exit.
Days became years. The dream wouldn't fade. In fact, the dream became more detailed, words formed beyond thoughts, and in the end even textures became significant.
Early American style to me meant time periods of language, styles of speech, even speeds of speech patterns reflecting the characters. Bookbinding translated into hardcover and grain. A book that I could dream then write would have to be not simply something to read but more importantly, at least to me, something I could hold.
My dream then?
To write a book.
Then the publisher was born...there was something pioneering, adventurous, even daring about writing words and finding the path for those words to travel.
So now here I am, writing and finding that pathway.
My dream now?
That someone two hundred years from now will find a copy of my work and it will still hold meaning.
