What I'm Reading Now

To put me in the thinking mood for the second book in the Enclave World trilogy:  To Charm the Air

What would do that?  That's what I started thinking about at the first of July.  Soon, I need to pick up that story, refresh myself on the characters and events in To Wield the Wind.

What reading would inspire me?

To put myself in the mood for To Charm the Air, I picked up an old Andre Norton The Year of the Unicorn, recommended reading this past Spring.  That was then.  This is now.

What now?  What now?

What's Inspiring

Summer always needs a little light inspiration to make it through the heat.

I enjoyed Alice in the Wonderland when I was a child.  In the last decade, though, I've come to a greater appreciation of what Lewis Carroll was doing:  a book for children that makes adults laugh, too.

No Disney, please.

Try this when things seem absolutely, utterly, completely without possibilities:

Alice laughed. "There's no use trying," she said; "one can't believe impossible things."

"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was young, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

Possibilities.  Those are nice roads to travel. And inspiration to help us continue on.
