As I sat reading the story “Paint What You Know” it brought so many of my own memories back to me. Memories of endless nights of wanting to do more with my life, yet not knowing which route to take. Watching Jeffrey through each word that Brendan Verville typed into the pages was a beautiful and mesmerizing experience. Verville has a way with words which makes the reader feel empathy for the characters in his books. I could quite literally feel the frustration that Jeffrey was feeling as he struggled to find the words to be able to write the story that he wanted to write. I could feel his self-doubt as he felt insecure about his choice of topic or how to bring the characters in his story alive by bringing forth the correct dialect onto the pages. It was a wonderful story which brings to our attention that in a world of billions of people rushing past daily, even our story matters. What we think and feel is important and should be told and shared. This is an outstanding work of literature and I will definitely be sharing it with friends so that they too, can understand that even the mundaneness that they may feel about their own lives, is actually an important and beautiful thing to share with all.
