My thoughts on writing and other random things as they come up. |
| This is a blog where I keep my thoughts and daily comments about writing and WDC. |
If you are wondering where I am - I've fallen into the bottomless black pit that is high school softball season! (Sometimes I wonder who exactly signed up for this gig after all *LOL*). See you all in October!!! Love Sil |
| *Whine Alert* I *hate* shopping. I always have. Going grocery shopping is one of my least favorite things to do. Sometimes, I 'reward' myself for going shopping by buying a book while I am there. Book buying is my greatest vice. It's my beer, my cigarettes, and my oreos. It's healthier then any of the aforementioned, and in some cases, it's cheaper. Unfortunately, the North Perkins Wal Mart has downsized it's magazine and book area. What used to be both sides of a full aisle is now down to one side of a single aisle. It's stuck in the back of the store, not very attractive, and the variability among the books is way down. I have also noticed that Hasting's has downsized their book area. It's like the whole world is shrinking. Not just what is in it, but what is possible through books. Don't get me wrong - there's still a lot out there through E-publishing. And I love my kindle. But I still like the feel of a page in my hands. It's still the best reward out there. I wish someone would open a bookstore in my community. Something along the lines of the old community bookstore. I know it may not feel like the best financial investment, but it sure would be fun and improve the artistic weight of our community. We sure have plenty of restaurants and bars. Surely there is room for a bookstore! Maybe we need a book restaurant, or a book bar... |
| I'm working on the weirdest story. It's funny how something just takes a hold of you and won't let you go. I had the idea for this story just kind of skirting around the edges. almost swimming in my subconscious. Then, it started to get a shape, a form...so I couldn't help but write it. Then I'm disappointed when it doesn't flow out of the pen the way I see it in my mind. But I keep coming back to it!!! And so far it's got the stupidest ending ever... The protagonist asking "Do you have any pork chops." Someone save me from myself! *LOL* (But at least I'm writing...) For those in the US Have a happy 4th holiday. For those not in the US, have a happy fourth anyway! Best, C |
