But, most strangely of all, this new dimension has extended to my writing as well. The violin has stirred my imagination and unleashed my creativity in ways I never experienced before. A little orphan girl who wishes to become a violinist begs me to write her Christmas story; amateur teenage violinists whisper in my ear that they wish to be the protagonists of my new mystery; a fragile, mentally unbalanced young violinist shares with me her horror tale, assuring me that her story would make a bestseller...
Always near my computer, my violin beckons me to hold it when I'm stuck in a scene or passage, as if only one embrace, one stroke, is enough to lift the dark cloud from my mind. And always in the background is the violin's music, my muse and inspiration. I hope this gift will continue to be bestowed upon me for many years to come.
