Ugh I agree with so much of this! It makes me want to turn off all my screens, curl up on my couch and just go through my fiction list. Can’t wait to see the group of story telling enthusiasts that you put together!

"We’re too busy, with too much to do, to indulge in fantasies." -- such a sad truth. We live in a time of pre-packaged fantasies. People just don't even want to bother with painting a scenario in their own heads that is theirs and theirs only. No, they're ok with fantasizing by proxy. I'm 100% with you on stories and their power on our imagination and, ultimately, our capability to stretch our minds. It's like a muscle, at the end of the day. And for many that muscle is slowly getting to atrophy. Not a pretty picture, sadly.
