About Sara and "the ending" from the author, John Caedan: Conception: Sara is 15-almost-16 living near L.A. in the town of Sky Valley, California. She writes in a notebook every day, and I post it to you. While Sara can see the bad/sad in the news and with her friends, and gets furious with Boomers, X, and Y ... yet, she is happy. There’s no sick secret in her past, and I promise she won’t get cancer. She is fiction and reality was real. I hoped to entertain by blending them to see the world's actual events of Fall 2016 and Spring 2017 through the eyes of someone honest, young, smart, and passionate. What happens next: The story might seem to end abruptly in May, 2017. One day, I realized I would have to write her story forever! I stopped. At first, I hoped to pick it up with her in college, tell of her first love affair, perhaps have her cross paths with Xia from "The White Sky." Now I think of it as a glimpse of one moment in a life, taken from a notebook that ran out of pages. I have regret ... yet not. The imagination will serve if we let it dwell. John Caedan The Sonoran Desert, California December 2023 Notice: This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to people living or dead stems from the universality of the human experience, not the author’s intent to appropriate, slant, or caricature actual humans. Contemporary people in public life and in the news do make appearances, but they are not the protagonists or supporting characters, who are fictional. |
