We are back from our holidays.  Some of you may have noticed that there were no new entries for several weeks, due to an agreed break (by our staff). 

Despite a desperate need to continually write (which I wrote about in my last editorial), it is equally important to take time off and explore the world.  What we bring back from these experiences enrich our writing beyond measure.

Writing, much like any creative art form, has the potential to become stagnant.  A writer is only as good as his knowledge and life experiences.  Certainly one’s imagination plays a large part in how we create, but despite ourselves, this imagination is still most often rooted in some form of reality.  The more we know and have seen, the more broad our pool of knowledge can be.  This allows us to draw far more from it, which translates into richer stories.

We’ve all heard the adage that with age comes wisdom.  Personally, I disagree.  I feel that with experience comes wisdom.  Generally, experience comes with age, though that is not always the case.  There are younger people who have been through more in their few years than some seventy year old men who have never strayed farther than twenty miles from where they were born.

Our level of wisdom dictates a large part of who we are.  It also makes story-tellers out of us.  Now whether these stories are worth hearing or reading, that is another matter altogether.

We at The Frozen Man certainly hope that you enjoy our stories.
