Those little decisions that we make every day have a way of making a mark on our lives that sometimes take years to realize. The advantage of being a writer is that we get to explore the “what ifs,” and try out all of the possibilities. What if Susan O’Neil had never agreed to volunteer to teach a summer computer camp? Where would Cassie and Ellie have gone for help? It’s easy to change something in a book to create that opportunity for two people to meet and bond. But what about in real life? Are you open to all of life’s possibilities? Take a chance. Call that person you haven’t spoken to in years. You never know when it might be your last chance. Remember, life isn’t a novel that enables you to change the plot or the ending.
