WHIMSY is today’s word. Make your writing fancy-free and whimsical. Imagine new worlds. Reach new heights or depths. Create characters that only you have the ability to solidify through your unique technique. Have fun, and as you do, write to your heart’s content!

On the flip side, reading should showcase whimsy as well. Think of those new worlds that the author has penned and immerse yourself in it. Come out of your reading as though you have just gone on a much-needed and wonderful vacation. Enjoy the characters authors have written and think about what you like about them, or for that matter, what you dislike. Without whimsy, reading loses its fun factor.
