Oneword: Instill

Another post for today! This is from Oneword - the prompt word was Instill.

I was about six years old when my mother read The Chronicles of Narnia aloud to us. I still remember hearing for the first time the tales of Digory and Polly, the green and yellow rings, and the wood between the worlds with all its pools. This was my first introduction to fantasy, and that event lead to a love of the genre being instilled in me. It was further cultivated when I read the The Hobbit at age 11. To this day it remains my favorite genre.

Oneword: Conjure

Today's post comes from the one word prompt from Oneword - Conjure. 60 seconds to write.

A writer is like a magician. While the latter casts spells with the wave of the wand, a writer paints pictures and invokes emotions with the movement of a pencil across a blank page. Perhaps this form of conjuring is not as glamorous as a wizard's, and yet anyone who has read the written word is well familiar with the power it can carry.
