“Literature has been the salvation of the damned, literature has inspired and guided lovers, routed despair and can perhaps in this case save the world.”
Nothing like setting the bar real high, eh? But I love this quote by John Cheever. It reminds me of the affect that art, and in particular books and stories, can have on us all.
I have no idea what is in store for my novel. I do know this. As I begin my sabbatical of a few months from work, I sure intend to find out.
I’ve got a story to tell. So I guess the best thing is to get started.
About Me
- muhbuh
- A part time writer and insatiable bookworm, I started this blog with the idea to challenge myself to read more and slim down. Two years in, having read some wonderfully entertaining and thought provoking works and sitting several pounds lighter, I continue to muse about the absurdity of life - mine specifically and the world at large, what inspires surprises and angers me, books and other entertainments, my dogs, my unending struggle to balance healthy self esteem and the desire to lose weight, my travels and any other notion buzzing round in my noggin - all that which makes up the jumbalaya that is life chez MB. Well that’s the plan, anyway...wink.
