In a Nutshell: Fiction and Life Parallels

Last week on Mind Key, the blog, your Mind Key writers explored fiction and life parallels. 

In Meet the Community: Danielle Rose on Tuesday, Charla introduced you to Mind Key's creator, Danielle Rose. 

"I've been talking to trees and faeries ever since I could remember," Danielle says. Her connection to the fae and to nature has taken her down life's path less traveled.

As a mom of two girls, Danielle is perpetually on the go, but she’s always focused on what she has found most important, homemade family dinners, playing outside and reading.  “I've been reading my favorite chapter books aloud since my youngest was about six months old," she said.  "Today, both of my girls adore all of my favorites and that means the world to me.”

In the blog Spirituality Based on Film on Wednesday, Charla explored the Jedi Way, a way of life that has sprung up based on the tenets of the Star Wars movies.  

"The films have actually spawned many discussions in my household.  Being surrounded by boys (including my husband) who love the series, we’ve talked a lot about the story lines and the duality of the characters (Anakin and Luke Skywalker) and their struggles between the dark and the light side."  

The differences between "Jediism" and "Sithism" seem to show the dichotomy in human thoughts and desires.

Danielle gave us more insight into her writing and thought processes on Thursday in How Fiction Changes Everything.  

"Whether in myself, or with my children, I can feel how stories weave new unimaginable thought patterns.  There’s something special in the way fiction opens the brain to draw its own conclusions and make new connections."

"Although my work in the nonfiction realm of health is essential in many ways, it’s my work writing Mind Key the Novel that is more powerful and profound.  Perhaps it is more accurate to say that fiction is life."

In keeping with the Fiction and Life Parallel theme, Tamara reviewed Danielle's book in Friday's Mind Key the Novel: A Review.  

"While trying to unwrap her heart from the strings of confusion, Noelle is soon surrounded  by unsettling events.  From a quirky palm reader predicting a strange future, to Arden suddenly disappearing from existence only to show up in an unsettling dream, she finds comfort in the lulling rhythm of the ocean and the infinite horizon sparkling with sharp, colorful light." 

Mind Key is the novel that promises to stay true to the name.  Will the key open our minds and help us discover our own magical journey?
