Esterbrook JR Sparkle Fantasia
In music, a fantasia is a mixing of styles that create a cohesive piece. It’s a blending of seemingly nonobvious forms that create a symphony that can be appreciated, enjoyed, or even hated. But, it evokes a strong emotion, like all great art.
And, really, is writing so different?
Many of us compose our own masterpieces on paper every day. We take from one source and cut, paste, rip, and tear to build something harmonious, seemingly out of nothing. And then, just when it’s about finished, we leave a little blank space to write our own story. And yes, this often evokes strong emotions, too.
