There is a magic island in Puget Sound, Washington state, where the environment, both natural and human, is exceptional. A spirit is here which touches anything creative... and seems to evoke the best a person can strive for.
This is the place where I came to live, quite by chance. It taught me something... that each individual has a form of magic in him... or her... that is unique and special. The only challenge is to tap into it.
One discovers a compulsion to stay in touch with essentials, the real, the honest, the true... and what makes things beautiful.
"Intelligence is learning from your own Experience;
Wisdom is learning from another's."
It is that spirit which I attempt to preserve in each person's writing.
That is The Shannon Experience
And so...
When I work with a writer, whatever his skill, it is the writer who speaks with his own voice... not mine. I seek the essence of his character and personality and help him showcase it.
