Creating

I have been on a reading frenzy! For almost two years now I have been stuck in a reading rut. I was not able to read a book all the way through. I didn't even finish Harry Potter and I consumed the previous books as soon as they were released. So during my creative healing process I have been reading.In September I read the Twilight Series, Nanny Diaries, and I finished Harry Potter. Plus a couple of self-help books. I am on fire!
Reading is so important to fuel our creativity. Without words to invoke imagages in our minds we would be dull dull dull creatures.Our ability to create is what is most special about us as souls.It is why we exsisit. I am so thankful for all of those authors who took the time to write and share the fun adventures of their imaginations. I too will join their ranks, I am getting there.
Right now I am reading a novel by Ann Radcliffe, The Mysteries of Uldolpho. It is very challenging but I am slowly consuming it as well. I thank Emily James-Luu for the new undertaking.

Oh to sit and read. If only... I could use a time for creativity boosting and I admire your ambition. Let me know what you think of the Anne Radcliff novel. Wasn't she around during Jane Austen's time?

And by the way, sorry for not calling you back this week. I always love talking to you so I will call soon... promise!
