What's In a Book?

How is it a person thinks they can judge a book by its cover? All pretty and fancied up, edges hard and full of color. (without reading or knowing) The contents all telling a story and painting pictures for all to imagine. The creative shell for a writer to pour their heart and soul into. Romance, fiction, truths, emotions, heartache, sickness, health, wealth, dreams and something to long for... that fills the pages. Adventures, hopes and fears...

Characters and the personalities that make them come to life... the hero, the heroine, the antagonist, the protagonist, the villain and the one you love to hate! It's who did what to who and what makes it all so interesting that everyone wants to read. Is it a fairytale? Is it fiction? Is it fact? Is it real? Can you relate? Does seem familiar? Does it resonate feeling with you? Are you moved? Are you angered? Do you want to rebuttal and shout? Do you want more? Are you saddened when you have gotten to the end?

That is the crazy thing about what the writer wants you to become familiar with. What the writer wants you to know and  how the story line is portrayed... Where you have to feel something! Envy, sorrow, empathy, disgust, guilt, love, sadness... desire! It is all is about wording... how it flows and how it comes together. It is what makes the perfect story.

The synopsis and how it reads... the short little bio of what you are about to delve into. Sinking your teeth and gritting down hard on truths, morals and the value of how these characters all came to life. Better than any Hollywood rag... just look around, things seemingly familiar. All a person has to do is watch and listen... and be in the right place at the right time. Dialog goes a very long way and the imagination even goes further...
