Fictional stories are gateways leading to many outcomes. They communicate individual experiences so that others who have been in the same situations might share camaraderie and a sense of togetherness. Stories teach lessons. They provide countless opportunities to practice shifting our perspectives so that we may understand others. They can encourage the development of empathy and sympathy. Stories can challenge our thinking and beliefs. They can uplift or depress. They can help readers work through their own emotions. Fiction can more clearly describe truth and the way of Life than nonfictional works. Finally, stories can provide a necessary escape from the difficulties, horrors, and monotonousness of our lives. Writing and reading can be powerful coping mechanisms, and a single tale can change a person’s entire outlook on life.

Note: my writing style varies depending on the story type. In essence, I don't use overly expressive and descriptive language in my mystery/detective works. I use those techniques more in my several fantasy series.
