Everyday I Write the Book

10/12/2018

I do believe the hardest thing about being a writer is that being able to write is not fluid enough. What I mean is, inspiration comes and goes. It never just arrives with luggage and rings your doorbell, waiting to be welcomed in to stay awhile. Instead, it carries its hobo sack on a long stick, and when you see it walking down the road toward you, you consider drawing the shades and darkening the room after hanging a 'No Soliciting' sign outside because you know how hard you are getting ready to labor over your piece.

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!
