what a author really is

During my last review, I realized what authors are truly are, or at least in my opinion. An author is someone with the imagination of a kid, an author is not a kid, but merely someone who has managed to keep his or her imagination alive through out all there lives. there is a saying, in a students mind there are many possibilities, but in the masters mind there are few, I believe that it means that
to some-one who is new, the possibilities are endless, but as we grow older, reality starts to settle in our minds, and the possibilities decrease, authors are those who have managed to keep their imagination intact, and have used it to make a story for those who wish to read them.

When was the last time that you read a book and felt the rush of being chased, or felt the sorrow of someone losing something special to them. When was the last time that you experienced, what the person in the book experienced. To an adult a book is just a book but to a kid it is an adventure. This is what an author is, a person with the imagination of a kid.
