Well,
hi guys!
I’m
not dead (yet) but I’m sort of dead to the world... I reside exclusively in the
world where my heart is... the story that unravels now for me and that I try to
write down.
I’ve
started occasionally to scribble some verse for the blog but stopped every time.
That is because all (of my) poetry comes out sad, most (of my) thoughts that lend
themselves to poetry are sad, and I don't want to be sad. I’ve had it with
feeling at the bottom of a deep well (I do feel like that a lot of the time)
and looking up at a patch of blue sky that seems infinitely far. So I am wary
of all 'poetic' thoughts...
(This is an illustration from "The Green Ray" by Jules Verne, translated by M. de Hauteville, 1883)
I’ve also started writing a review or two or other thoughts on various subjects but never got to finishing them. (One thing I have to say though is this: Karen Marie Moning is brilliant and her series Fever is brilliant. If you haven’t read it, check it out. Need I say that it is brilliant? Barrons and V'lane - enough said... :-) )
However, I
think of you often and I miss terribly the thoughtful exchanges with my blogging
friends, the daily snippets of beauty and wisdom, or just the news of your
whereabouts and of your endeavours. I apologize for not replying to all those
kind enough to comment on my two most recent posts. But I’m not leaving this
place and I hope to be truly back one day.
Amazingly,
Chick with a Quill is seven years old today.
