Spark A Creative Anthology Vol 7 Author:Jen Greyson, Lillian Li, Eliyanna Kaiser, BD Wilson, Gloria Keeley, George Wells, Lucia Cherciu, Frank Scozzari, Camille Guillot, K.C. Norton, Seth Marlin, Miriam Zeitz, Anita Marquez, Sarah Pinsker, Levi Jacobs, Michael Haynes From the foreword by Jen Greyson: Change. It occurs everywhere we look—from the seasons, to our relationships, to ourselves. Change is truly the only constant in our lives, trite as the saying may be. Change bears opportunity for growth, though oftentimes we reject the chance to embrace the newness out of fear, whether fear of the unknown,... more » or fear of rejection, or fear of who we’ll become on the other side of the change. Characters are no different. A good story can immerse us in the progression of change through a character’s eyes. Whether they choose to accept the challenge or refuse it, both decisions carry consequences. Refusal of a growth opportunity can mean more challenges for our favorite characters until they finally relent, while immediate acceptance can bring dark nights and lonely journeys.
