Awaiting Inspiration
I'm one of those people who can't sit down and write seriously until they feel inspired. So while I wait for that to happen with my short story due next week for Fiction class, I may as well update this thing.
This weekend was fun. I got to come home and visit my family. Stephen Vickery, an old friend of Susannah's who lives in Maryland, traveled down and surprised her with a visit. My parents and I knew about it ahead of time, though, and we successfully kept it from her, a rare feat nowadays. Friday night, we went out for dinner at Sticky Fingers, and Anna Kate accompanied us. Then she and I watched my Dinner Theatre performance from last year, fresh out on DVD (thanks, Chris!). Sweetheart, it is so incredible to be with you, to hold your hand, and talk with you. Know that you fill my days with glistening rays of sunshine and delight. I love you so dearly.
So yeah, Vic-Lit. We finished Dickens' The Old Curiosity Shop at last. A nice, inoffensive story, even though it ended somewhat predictably. Devoting the final chapter solely to tying off all the supporting characters' plotlines smacked of a fairy tale conclusion in which the good guys win, and the bad guys get their due punishment. But then again, that's pretty much how the Bible lays it out, isn't it? Maybe I'd better be careful about what I say.
I'm only seven chapters into it, and I'm already loving Jane Eyre.
As for Faulkner, The Sound and the Fury is living up to its rep as a mind-bender. You have to wade into it with baby steps and accept the skewered narrations for what they are. If Benjy's doesn't frustrate you, Quentin's will.
Din...*ahem* Dessert Theatre practice went well tonight. I like my character. It's amazing how Taylor managed to capture my former personality so well in Logan Foxtrot. Lots of great one-liners and in-jokes tossed in there.
Still no inspiration yet. Check back later.
Song of the Day: MercyMe - "Homesick"
Verse of the Day: "The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights." - Habakkuk 3:19
