A Home In Stories.



My name is Derek John Steiner and my home can be found in my stories. My life feels most real when I'm in a good story. No space in particular, no place anchors my soul. It's in the midst of adventure, romance, comedy, and tragedy that my heart sings: “We're on a roll!” I needn't be always happy, nor do I wish to play a victim but as part of a grand cast with a role in a grand plot I can make this dictum: This is where I live, this is where I call home!

  1. Your concept of home is very interesting! I never thought about it in this sort of way but very cool. I can relate to this.

  2. I can definitely relate very much to your definition of home. I like the way you relate your home with stories of enjoyment, romance, and adventure. I also feel that wherever I am, home is always with me.

  3. I really liked how you describe your home as being part of your story. It fits with the class really well.

  5. So this may be a silly question, but the "stories" you call home...do you mean stories from books you are reading? Or like...you're living your life as a big story?

    1. The quick answer is that I feel most "at home" when I'm engaged in something important. A story taking place in my life. I'll go more in depth with future postings. Thanks for the helpful inquiry!
