All I Can Do Is Write About It

7/10/2018

For writers, it's simple. We don't just sit down and start writing. Nope, it's just not that easy! Writers look for inspiration in EVERYthing...and write then when we feel moved to do so. The notion can strike at any time, too, night or day. My mind is a perpetual notebook, my thoughts scribbled head trips across gray and purplish fleshy folds of my very own brain. Sometimes I awaken in the morning with words on my heart, and it's like rapid fire in my cerebellar abacus. If I wait until night to write, sometimes the words, the feelings, the stories are there...but too often they are not. Still, all I can do is write about it.

My name is Elizabeth, and I come bearing gifts. I have a story to tell, you see. Several stories, really. I joke that writing is cheaper than therapy, and it is true that writing has been life-changing for me in so many ways.

I want you to feel free to click the YouTube arrow to play the music while you're indulging yourself here. Go ahead, put it on loop for the time it takes you to read the entire passage. I promise, you won't be sorry. Why, I listen on loop as I write these memories, these scenarios, these monumental lessons of my life. You know, so I can feel the music inside of me. It is my belief that we, all of us, have memories linked to the things we love most: Beauty, Food, Scent, Touch, and Sound.

With this blog, it is my intention to honor those memories through the five senses. We will explore together a little bit of art, food, smelly-goods, tactile pleasures, and melodies that take us allllll back, all the way back. I invite you to come along for the drive, so to speak, because I have lots to talk about. And of course, as someone who wants to be your friend, I want to know how you feel, too, because in kindergarten we learned that this is how a friendship works...give and take. Are you with me?

Alrighty then. Let's Do This!
