Life of a Story
I have been away a while, this blog as been neglected as so many of my interests in the world. But the stories don't go neglected or do they?
This post is not what you think or maybe it is, its not another summation of the structure of a story. It is a question about the life or more the living presence of a story.
There are so many Stories in so many formats based around the idea of stories having life, or characters becoming part of a story.
It's an interesting thought, it leads to many stories you can find your self actively writing the story in your head, the parts you can step into easily, the parts that easily slip from the story to our world. How many dreams have encompassed this crossing of worlds.
Ink Heart brings the book characters into the world, 10th kingdom allows both worlds to meet, the box of delights allows a Punch and Judy mans tales to come to life. All of these are examples of the kind of thing I'm on about.
They are examples of the story breeding more stories, some times related , some times effected by and some times as far removed as possible from the original content. So do stories have feelings? Or do we just imagine they do, attribute them with feelings and wants. In our own way giving the stories life when even untold, unread and no longer loved.
I find this train of thought brings its own story, many paths, many endings and I feel I will leave it there, leave it of ryour mind to write the end, the story of your own.
