The Naming of a Blog

The title of this blog was inspired by a quote from one of my favorite authors and one of the strongest female figures in literature, Ursula K. Le Guin. She said: "the unread story is not a story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story".
To me this quote acts as a reminder of the magic of the imagination, and the important role stories play in the process of life. It also helps me remember that each person's experiences are unique, and therefore each story is read differently by every individual.
I hope this story comes alive for you as you read it, and you can experience my adventures with me in your imagination :)

p.s. the url for this blog is also from a quote. It reminds me to follow the beat of my own drum... and enjoy it :)

"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."
-Frederich Nietzsche
