I know I haven't posted in a while. I haven't really had the time lately in all honesty. When I have had the time, I haven't really been inspired. A few sad things have been happening around me as of late, which has been draining my inspiration to write; at least about anything that isn't related to these kinda unhappy events. At least on the home front everyone is well and happy, and that is a good thing (not to sound to Martha).
I have been reading a little Capote lately. Breakfast at Tiffany's, which I did not realize was a short novel, was quiet interesting and very different from the movie. They totally cleaned it up and gave it the old hollywood happily ever after. I wonder if that was due to Audrey or not. The novel also has a couple short stories included that are rather interesting and make me realize that not all writing needs a happily ever after or a blatant plot that slaps you in the face.
I also read some Earnest Hemmingway. He, too, has a very unique style that I find a little...dry? Not really, but I can't really put my finger on it. I read the Snows of Kilamanjaro and some other short works. Nothing jumped out at me as a new favorite. Maybe I will have to try something else.
It kind of sucks that everytime I go to the library the books on my list are not there. I have been picking up other stories (those above included) by the same authors I am seeking. I guess in a round about way I am getting more reading in this way.
Well, as I said, I am not very inspired lately. This post is simply to let you know I am still here. I will post something a little more substantial later.
