Wow...it's been a while.

BOOKS READ SINCE LAST POST: I, CLAUDIUS; TO THE LIGHTHOUSE; AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY
MOVIES WATCHED SINCE LAST POST: CITY LIGHTS, THE SEARCHERS

Who then could blame the leader of that forlorn party, which after all has climbed high enough to see the waste of the years and the perishing of stars...- To the Lighthouse

It was done; it was finished. Yes, she thought, laying down her brush in extreme fatigue, I have had my vision.- To the Lighthouse

...left-handed honeymoon...-An American Tragedy

And now this American witness to the rule of God upon earth, sitting in a chair in her shabby, nondescript apartment, hard-pressed for the very means to sustain herself...- An American Tragedy

In defense of my poor record in writing these posts, let me just say that I am reading other books in between those on the list and that slows me down a little bit. Also, I'm a very undisciplined writer. The point of this exercise, besides setting a goal and working towards it, was to hopefully kickstart the writing bug inside and push me forward. Its a slower process than I thought...

It's the same problem. Kids, loved ones, fulfilling job, friends, hobbies etc. etc. etc. I wouldn't give any of it up but there is only so much time in the day and energy in my mind. And it's not just me, thank goodness, my wife is struggling with the same basic problem. All I can do is look to Meatyard. Ralph Eugene Meatyard. Husband, father, optometrist and amazing photographer. Also a southerner. All I can do sometimes is look to him.

Like I promise every time...I'm going to post these more often.
