Today is World Storytelling Day. Never heard of World Storytelling Day? Well, it is a fun holiday that is all about STORIES! All kinds of stories from different cultures and in different languages. It happens every year and you can learn more about it at these links. Here is the link to some more interesting information about the day. https://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/fun/world-storytelling-day
This years theme is VOYAGES. Here is where you can learn more about this year’s theme. https://www.facebook.com/groups/worldstorytellingday/permalink/10156858634106966/?hc_location=ufi
In honor of World Storytelling Day, I am giving my FIRST EVER reading! This is an excerpt from my latest book, Mhorag, Prophecy of Hope Book 2, available now! This passage is a “voyage of the soul” as well as a physical, supernatural journey across worlds. The backstory of the character Nudhug Caladrius (who readers of the Prophecy of Hope Saga will remember as the first, true and rightful An Taoseach (emperor) of Isear) is introduced for the first time my newest book! Enjoy part of it here!
So sorry the last sentence got cut off of the reading. Here it is.
Now for some fun– in honor of the day and just the fact most of us have a LOT of time on our hands right now…
To all you writers, (and aspiring writers too), to all story lovers, I offer up this story prompt:
“Even this far from home, the dragons insist on keeping the memory of their planet alive.” (Prompt found on Pinterest.com)
I would love to hear your ideas of what happens next! Join the fun and tell a story. See my author page on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/fantasyauthorSarahKennedy PLEASE SEE THE PINNED POST!
to share a line or two of the story. I can’t wait to read them! What stories can you come up with today?
Oh, I’m just an ordinary person with a big imagination. My name is Sarah Kennedy. I am the fourth of five children. I’ve lived in the same small town almost my entire life. Some may view my life as empty or unimportant. You know, I’ve been tempted to that view as well from time to time, but there is truly not a lot I would change. I gave up a life of almost certain success for one that is way more precarious, yet I cannot imagine my life apart from my pen. That doesn’t mean I don’t have big hopes and dreams. I am the author of the new and emerging fantasy series, Prophecy of Hope Saga. I currently have two books out. When I am not writing, I spend time with family. Every Friday is family movie night. I like to play games. On holidays, my family relaxes together by having game marathons. I am the Clue champion (having held the title for several Thanksgivings now) and believe me you haven’t played Clue until you’ve played it at a Kennedy family Thanksgiving. This past year it took us three hours to play one round of clue. It’s massive. I love to read, to take long walks, and to just spend time with my fur babies. I love animals; they know both how to just let go, full abandon, and how to be at peace; to my cats I’m just one of the pride, so I’ve really gotten to benefit from that as they seek me out and include me in just about everything! They help me write too. I also play four instruments: piano, flute, feadóg (Irish whistle), and bodhrán drum. I do some cross stitch and other crafts from time to time, but I always keep a notebook and writing instrument handy because I never know when inspiration will strike.
