Letters from Jack: An explanation by the author.

Yo yo yo!  So, this Friday, February 5th, 2016, I will be posting the first "chapter" to my mini-series "Letters from Jack".  But, I thought that a little bit of background would make the story a little more enjoyable.

To start off, this started out as a paper for school.  I have this class called "Inklings" (If you don't know what that is it's basically a mix of creative writing and reading).  Our assignment was to write a story in the epistolary format (stories written in the form of letters, e-mails, blog posts, etc...).  It was also supposed to be loosely inspired by C.S. Lewis's "The Screwtape Letters".  So I decided to write a quick introductory letter written by an angel to a girl.  It was originally going to be just one letter, but then I realized that I ended it in a very unsatisfying way.  And me being the writer that I am, I could not leave a story just hanging like that.  So, I wrote a series of other letters to complete the story.  Thus, the "Letters from Jack" mini-series was born!  Soon, it will be the first ever series (mini or otherwise) on the "Art of Random"blog!  I hope you guys will enjoy reading the series as much as I enjoyed writing it and that it will impact your life positively!

Shalom!
