Memorial Day Musings

Tagged:  •    •    •  

I started a new book last week! Writing the first few pages helped deteriorate the fear crippling me. I stalled and stalled knowing that what comes out on the page will never be what's in my head. It'll never be good enough.

I have to write anyway.

With that in mind, here's a peek into my life:

In My Own Little Corner, In My Own Little Chair

Christie at Whistling in the Dark is talking about her favorite character: Jo March. Jo March is my favorite second favorite character, second to, of course, Anne of Green Gables. Christie talks about stealing some of their magic, and I agree. We want part of their magic. That's why we dream, why we read, why we act, why we watch movies or plays or musicals.

Cows and Fires

My husband knows how to make the perfect steak. He knows how to marinate it, and he knows how long to leave mine on the grill. You see, I like my steaks rare. No, I like my steaks to pretend that they've seen the fire from a distance. Purple and juicy and zapping with flavor.
I like my characters the same way.

From the Spleen

After all the craziness of life, family operations, family reunions, vacations, and projects, I believed coming back to my books would be like dusting a rarely used room (or an often used room that rarely gets dusted, not that I would know of such things).
Not so much.

The Man at the Windsor Inn

Tagged:  •  
I have to tell you about a man I met while I was in D.C. He’s the owner and/or manager of the Windsor Inn, a renovated house, small and old but accommodating. No elevator. Armida stayed there.
