There were some nice things to post about today, like hanging out with some of the Edinburgh YSA, which was tons 'o fun, and getting my haircut by a nice British-Indian lady.
I also have felt like I should start writing again, or at least more frequently. I have in mind wholly re-imagining American literature and recreating the myths of America, or maybe I'll start somewhere more local like Utah, but perhaps that's a bit too ambitious for me right now. The quote from "Heart of Mid-Lothian" seems so applicable: I build lofty imagination-castles in the sky of a non-existent future, and then Disappointment comes to cull them.
Which myths are you thinking of addressing?
ReplyDeleteI ask because I'm currently thinking of writing a series based on the history of the Iroquois nations, and another based on the lives of the "desert fathers" in Egypt.
