This is the second blog I've ever written in my life and I'm so excited! Since writing my last blog I have had to beg my teenager again to help me learn how to post, publish, comment and, yes, even sign in.
She looked at me during a blog practice session and said, Mom, really, how can you not know how to do this?" I said, "well, honey, when I was your age we didn't have cell phones, e-mail, facebook, my space, twitter or blogs." She stared shocked and said, "Well, how did you communicate with people?" I explained to her how we had to pick up a phone, stop by or write a letter. "Letters, she said softly, I've rarely gotten or written a letter." That's when I realized how far apart our generations are when it comes to technology. Well, at least we both still read books. And on to that....
When I was checking out Oprah's Reading Room in her November Magazine I thought the big black bold titles in front of each review were the book titles, but after going to the book store to buy my first pick for the experiment I've learned two things: One, I was wrong, and two, the book will not be in stores or available on Amazon until next Tuesday, November third. I guess the big bold black lettering headlining each review is the promo, but the book titles are in the text. So, the actual title of my first pick is not "The Road To Poetry", but it's actually "LIT" by Mary Karr. At least I got the author right in my first blog.
Oprah's reviewers say her memoir opens with a letter to her son and "chronicles a decade of motherhood, alcoholism, and a long, skeptical slog toward faith." Sounds inspiring already. Even though I have not read the book yet, this process inspires me. I started writing with fresh vigor yesterday. And any day that I write I know I am inspired. I feel energized. Creativity. Creativity. Creativity. It fills my soul.
I'll be running to the bookstore on Tuesday and I hope you join me. Let's get inspired to create.
Love to all my Internet reading friends. And by the way... my daughter says I'm finally learning technology can be cool.
working on being inspired to write daily, Leslie
