FASCINATED BY BROWN JOURNALS
Whenever I go into Barnes & Noble, I browse the the section where the journals are. I see the brown covers with the pages in between waiting to be written on.
I wanted to purchase one but decided not to. I may drop the forty dollars on one in the future. Journals are invaluable sources as I have learned. I have a trunk full of him. From time to time I browse through them, bringing back memories of my mindset in those years.
Some day too I will sit in a coffee shop and record nuggets for a story or poem in my new brown journal.

A MIXED BAG
It's rare that a movie based on the book is better. If the book and movie are equal to me, that is a success. There have been numerous times when I watched the movie and read the book, I wondered if they are two different stories with the same title.

NIGHT WALK
I enjoy strolling city streets at night. When I find a quiet spot I take inventory of the silence. Even on a street with revelers and traffic, I embrace it.
A writer's life is lonely at times. Putting my ideas on paper, organizing them, and creating a story or poem. I don't feel alone, I enjoy the solitude
