Some of my favorite passages in any book are descriptions about the food! Mary and Colin and Dickon ate scones and cream in their secret garden; Anne's children ate grilled fish and potatoes from the fire in their Rainbow Valley; Laura and her family made a small meal of cornmeal and molasses by the side of their wagon. What's a meal that you would write about?
A Nook of One's Own
Our townhouse is a bit cramped for space, and I was running out of bookshelves. I was also feeling the lack of a quiet corner to read. So, with a bit of brainstorming and elbow grease, my family and I worked together to transform that space beneath the stairs (which was a heap of bikes and wetsuits) into an inviting, cozy, serviceable nook.
Like how the smell of salt-air or the caw of seagulls takes your mind to the seas, just walking by makes me wonder what's next in the book I'm reading . . . and writing . . .
Where do you like to read?
