I like the prompts I’ve been using this month for these posts because many of them make me think about things that I didn’t think about before.
The dedication page is one of those. I feel like a dedication page is really dedicated to the person/people who meant the most to you during the writing of the book. So much so that you want to dedicate the book and the idea of the book to them. If I was entirely truthful, I would dedicate The Storyteller to myself, just because of what it means to me as a book. I’m not sure that any other story I write will mean quite this much to me. But I’m pretty sure dedicating a book to yourself is like thanking yourself in an acceptance speech, bad form.
Then I had the idea of what I really want the dedication of this book to be:
To Abigail
For everything you have suffered.
It could be a rather massive spoiler, but because of the nature of this book, I think it is the most appropriate dedication I could come up with. Even if it is bad form.
