Greetings readers and welcome to Folio, the blog of Fandescript! Happy Earth Day to all! Readers, writers, and fans alike, I thank you for your constant visitation of our website and hope you have enjoyed Fandescript's daily animal facts! I hope that the information presented to you over the past couple of days has been enlightening and also peaked your curious minds to delve deeper into the world of not just our animal friends, but into the world of nature itself. Over the past couple of days during my research in presenting these animals to you, I learned more about the creatures you see here on this website and found a commonality that we share amongst them, though I am sure there are many to name. We all share our portion of trail, hardship, and joys in this life: whether man or beast. Think about it.
The mother zebra whose foal was snatched by predators simply for food. The mother who has lost her son or daughter to life's circumstances, be them economical, social, mental etc. The pack of wolves that face the cold kiss of winter's chill endeavoring to survive in the icy wilderness against all odds. The family that struggles, mother and father, (sometimes either or) to keep a roof over their children's head facing mounting bills with low income. The joy when a new calf is born to a mother water buffalo and the joy a mother feels when she brings another human life into the world. I present these examples to you as a symbol to show that we all go through hard times and seasons of pain as God's creatures. Separated by our genus/species and other matters, we still collectively face challenges whether in the classroom, courtroom, job, or on the savannah, tundra, or jungle. The old saying is true. It really is a jungle out there. But just as the camel pushes on through the dry desert sands, so must we. Just as the wildebeest migrate by the thousands in search of greener pastures facing predators and surmounting odds of death, so must we trek on. As some of our animal friends are facing extinction, yet they bounce back with the help of conservationists and wildlife refuge efforts of organizations across the globe, so must we rebound back from the circumstances and situations we face daily with the help of one another. Maybe in this light, we can see that we're not so different from those who we share this planet with and hopefully preserve this home for generations to come which will one day share it its trials, tribulations, and utter triumphs despite their race, be them human or animal. It is our nature for we all have instincts. Happy Earth Day!

Greetings readers and welcome to Folio, the blog of Fandescript! Greetings readers, writers, and fans alike! I hope you've enjoyed our fun animals facts posted online in honor of this coming Earth Day 2013! If you haven't checked out our facts, please do so. There is something that we all can learn about the wild and those creatures with whom we share this planet with. I assure you, you WON'T be disappointed!
To my writers today, I pose this question: If your stories and characters had a life of their own, outside of the written page, what would they say and how would they live? Would they speak out of the own mannerisms, character flaws, and paradigms that you the author have created for them or would they have their own voice? Could you recognize your own work if lets say the villain in one of your works walked past you in the mall, or at the job, or anywhere on the street? Would you want to recognize the character as your own or would you pass this off as a mere hallucination? Perhaps you met this figure of your imagination and had a conversation with them on their fears, joys, passions, trials, and journeys of life. Would you believe what they had told you, given the truth that you had written everything about them from their description, integrity (or lack thereof), conflicts, beauty, etc. Could it move you or would it move you to hear what a manifestation of your mind told you about how they personally felt? Possibly incur fear in your heart? Sometimes we are the composite of our characters that we write about and weave tales, legends, and sagas of in our creative efforts knowingly and unknowingly. "You live long enough to see yourself become either the hero or the villain..." (The Dark Knight) I believe the same can be said in both our own lives and in the lives of the stories we create. They do speak after all. What do you think? As always, I am anxious to hear your responses and welcome your comments...all Greetings readers and welcome to Folio, the blog of Fandescript Have you ever been there? To the edge of your mind where the possibilities are near endless and the things you see bring you such nightmares and joys that you dare question if you're awake or not? Perhaps you yourself are the dream? Maybe living in the mind and imagination of another's thoughts while you experience pain, joy, laughter, danger and other emotions that make life so grand and at the same time, sometimes, so...mysterious and haunting? When you are there, at the precipice's edge of imagination, what do you see? Have you visited it frequently and is it a haven of peace for you or is it a frightening realm of thoughts where only you and you alone are the master? Have been there for so long that you can't tell where reality ends and where fantasy begins? Is it comforting? Is it reflective? Wherever it is, whatever it is, share your ideas on this place. Tell me, where does your imagination take you? To the past, to the future, to the what might have been? Where does the dream take you?
