How cool! <br /><br />I connect very much with the concept that stories allow us to imagine possibilities for various futures. <br /><br />Can't wait for May's installment!Keely Thrallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05656529091898492453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115759973832197426.post-85712467278339218022013-03-06T23:24:34.285-05:002013-03-06T23:24:34.285-05:00Candi ~ Thanks for taking the time to read and com...Candi ~ Thanks for taking the time to read and comment.

Cron has some interesting thoughts about what readers expect in a story and it's not quite the same old structure or tropes we've heard about repeatedly the last few years.

No matter which, stories reach way back into our DNA and without it we're a little less human.
