What we need is an audience for our stories. Certainly, our close friends may love our stories or at least listen patiently to our stories.  What many people lack is the imagination that they could publish their stories for a greater audience.  They may not know how to make that happen.  They may believe that it is expensive. They may believe that publishing only means printed books.  

Think of all your favorite stories whether in books or in movies. They all started in someone's imagination.  The cool part is that everyone has one of those. Children often have very vivid imaginations but as we age too often our imaginations are buried under wave after wave of responsibilities and discouragements. 

Most adults are fascinated and entertained with the stories found in "Jurassic Park".  Many don't know that these movies were created from the imagination and books of Michael Crichton.  Many of his other books were also transformed onto the big screen like "Disclosure", "Congo", "Timeline", "Coma", "Westworld", "Sphere", "Andromeda Strain" and many more. Before he began writing he has no idea that this would happen. Few people know that he began his writing career while a student at Harvard Medical School. Yes. As you can imagine he was pretty busy but his stories kept bubbling out of him.
