Pretty close to it, I’d say!
After all, writers “create” strange and wondrous worlds from sheer nothingness. Then they populate these environs with a multitude of inhabitants, whom they fashion to an image entirely of their making. And finally, they breathe life into these characters by imbuing them with spirited and lively animation. They are lord and master over this new-formed world--controlling each word, every action and everything else in between, right down to the minutest detail.
That, in my book, certainly ranks them with the Gods.
Some authors are idolized and have a great following--JK Rowlings, Stephen King and RL Stine, to name a few. So in that sense, one might say, they serve as Gods, as well.
My name is Mario S. Fedele, and I’m a writer. At age 57, the release of my first book, “Stories for a Stormy Night, Vol. 1”, has been a wonderful blessing and made me proud.
Do I feel like a God? The answer is, “Not at all!” I don’t feel anything remotely close to it. Not with all my aches and pains, and all my earthly worries that weigh me down.
But, I’m truly happy in my writing. It’s like retreating to my own Garden of Eden when indulging the literary muse. My mind is stimulated and my juices are flowing. There is no other rush like it.
I’m very humbled to see my words in print. Even more humbling are some of the favorable reviews the work has so far garnered. Donna Laird writes, “In ‘Stories For A Stormy Night’, Mario S. Fedele has written two great stories to read on a dark night, curled up on the sofa with hot chocolate and a blanket to cover your head at times. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading more of this author’s work.” Another comment comes from Vicky Stowers, “I had a great time reading ‘Stories for a Stormy Night’. What an imagination this author has!” Along the same lines, Pat Shanahan indicates, “Mr. Fedele certainly has a talent for crafting words into mental images.” And LaDonna B Hawkins aptly adds, “This author’s work is both original and intriguing.”
