Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship
Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out
new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.
I still get chills when I
hear those words. Something inside me churns. I scoot a little closer to the
television. As the stars shoot past me on the screen, I am drawn into the next
adventure of the Enterprise. Excitement. Anticipation. A touch of anxiety—all
emotions set into play by the author.
The joy in reading comes
when an author tweaks the reader’s emotion. It doesn’t always have to be earth
shattering—but it does need to spark an element of sensation.
