words come alive the moment you let them exist
Just a few of those things that I’ll never actually write, that I know I’ll never actually write or add anywhere (as of right now). I figure if anyone wants to use them as inspiration or otherwise… please do!

Outside of Alice, I love a few specific troupes and myths and creatures. I’ve decided that for weekly blog posts I will write about them all. I haven’t decided which ones to write about first and so maybe you all could help. Here is an overview of what I can write about.
Tropes I like; depending on what I have to say this may be a long post or short one.
Myths/Real life Mythos and Religions I like.
Magical Creatures that I love.
These are it for now. If you have anything else blog wise (outside of my book reviews) that you’d like to hear my thoughts on, feel free to comment in the poll.

It’s been sitting here on my desk calling for me to read it… Finally? I suppose finally. This only took me forever to get to. Wow.

Memories. They come and go tickling the senses as they do. The smell of grass. An old book. Spring rain. Autumn wind. The feeling of summer’s heat, blue skies, or gray ones if you like. I know that when I hear the sound of bike bells I remember the years of riding our bikes and skate boards and scooters to the park. The baseball game would be going on and with our twenty dollars we could fill up our small bags with candy and sweets. But we had to be fast or else our parents would notice we left the neighborhood. All that candy we just bought? It needed to be scarfed down before we forced our stomachs to endure a healthy food shock that was dinner.

Another anthology of poetry. In truth, I may be reading a few more in the next few weeks as they are quick and they allow me to put my feet down on the books that I’ve been meaning to read, reread, and complete.

I’m only writing this out after reading a novel about Alice in Wonderland and I… I felt empowered to speak about my favorite novel. I did not feel empowered to edit, however, and so it is coming out weeks after I read it.
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was hardly the first book I ever read in my life. It was not the first one my mother read to me. It was not my first fantasy. It was not my first adventure. It was not my first classic. It was not my first anything, but it is my favorite.
In many ways this makes me extremely critical to any and all renditions of it in any medium. In the end, my favorite version is the original.

Finally some new books (or newish books) instead of the old books I have been reading. I will finish those in due time, but I think new books are the pick me up I need.

I have determined that I have readers block. It’s like an artist block or writers block, but in regards to reading. I just don’t want to read, or at least its not calling me to the pages like books usually do. I think its the expectation to read things that I just don’t want to read? Or I do want to read, but just… not right now.

I may move these to the first of the month starting soon. It depends on if I can get to blogging regularly. Otherwise, best!
