I know this quote might seem like a contradiction, because this blog is on the internet, where anyone can find it. I started this blog, not to be read, but to write for the joy of writing. I also want it to be a place where I can go back and see what I was thinking or what music I was listening to on a certain day. So I liked this quote for today. Well, yesterday I guess. It's past midnight so this will be seen as Friday's post. Oh well!
Today was a normal Thursday. I didn't do anything great, grand, or wonderful, but I did start the book The Help by Kathryn Stockett. It's one of those books that keeps you thinking. As I read it, I wonder to myself what in our society today will be seen as intolerant and backwards? When Skeeter writes to Harper & Row Publishers, she gets a reply that asks, "Don't waste your time on the obvious things. Write about what disturbs you, particularly if it bothers no one else" (Pg. 83). That's a great point for every writer to think about, in my opinion. :)
