ILLUMINATION / FICTION STORIES

I Am A Fictional Character — Stuart Englander

At least, my family thinks I am

The play on words aside, a better fiction writer is what I aspire to be, and reading better writers like Liam Ireland and Britni Pepper inspire me to pick up my game. Finding these terrific writers on ILLUMINATION-Curated and ILLUMINATION has somehow lit a fire in my brain.

Their inspiration and my own love for ‘the story’ has become the spark that propels me. Money is a lovely and useful thing to have with the right perspective, but writing stories that resonate are for me, the ultimate prize.

As a filmmaker, I have always been drawn to visual narratives and the kinds of stories that stir the mind with imagery and symbolism.

So, if you are a lover of allegories, or you enjoy parables from old Star Trek episodes, my preferred style is right up your street. Ultimately, I hope to create thought-provoking stories and push some boundaries of reality along the way.

This initiative that has been created by Dr. Mehmet Yildiz could not have come at a better time for me, and I suspect the same is true for many of the great storytellers in this publication, Tree Langdon, CPA, CGA Phil Truman Agnes Laurens Terry Mansfield, and the many talented fiction writers I am still discovering.

Won’t you please join me? I’m ever grateful for my readers' support.

Here are some of my recent entries. I hope you enjoy them.
