You ever tried to write a book?
Once I did and boy am I shook!
My pen in one hand
Not sure what I planned
At that blank page sometimes I still look
Now I thought myself a creator
But more practice I must do later
For ideas I lack
Like a duck with no quack
It turns out my skills could be greater!

Middle-of-the-Night Update: Mountains Are Close,
So once again there has been a lapse in my activity on this blog. I have managed to keep up writing in my own journal, and doing prompts in a little book I carry with me. I have not, however, made appropriate time for posts on here. I have had a lot of change recently. I am now living in Knoxville, TN, I am managing at a pastry and gelato cafe in the heart of downtown, and I am enjoying finally living in the same city as my beloved. This job is definitely different from what I was doing in NC, but in a good way, and I am learning a lot from it. I am also loving the abundance of coffee shops here that the area of NC I was at was rather lacking. Recently I have been doing a lot more cooking and baking, and that is one of the greatest ways I can relax and spend a day off. Rock climbing has also been another great habit I am doing my best to keep up, although I admit I don’t have a partner to go climb with, I am certain I will be able to make a friend soon who shares my passion for climbing. My girlfriend, myself, and some of her friends have also gone hiking in the Smoky’s a couple times now and it is really something else. Nothing can really compare to being among those peaks and looking over all that space. It is truly surreal. Well, I will do my best to post more soon, including a book review and some more poetry or fiction, too!
Upcoming Book Reviews
In trying to find what kind of posts to write, I realized I had the perfect material right in front of me! I recently purchased three new books. They are The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway, And The Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini, and last but not least Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. I am in the process of reading the first one and upon completing it I am gonna write a review for it on here, and then read the next one and do the other two subsequently. I think I will probably do one general review post and then possibly a quote post to analyze or discuss any quotes I stumbled upon that I particularly enjoyed in some way. I will squeeze these posts in just whenever I finish the books, and so they probably won’t be my next couple posts, but they will be sprinkled throughout my upcoming pieces. Time to get back to reading!
