I pretend it doesn't exist.
November musings . . .
What is it about November? Well personally, it’s usually a good month for me. It offers my very favorite holiday: Thanksgiving. This is a time I can do two activities I enjoy immensely 1) Reflecting on all that I’m grateful for in my life and 2) Eating and drinking to excess while everyone else is doing it too, so I’m not alone in the madness. Ha!
This November it’s surprisingly cold in Atlanta...

Jacinta Howard's review
of
Serena's Vow: Blank Pages II (Blackbirds):
"Lily Java didn't take the easy route to storytelling with this Blank Pages duet. This is no cookie-cutter love and redemption story. This is a tale of life lessons, failings, faith and resilience, as Ethan and Serena journey through loss, heartach..."

“We tell ourselves stories in order to live...We look for the sermon in the suicide, for the social or moral lesson in the murder of five. We interpret what we see, select the most workable of the multiple choices. We live entirely, especially if we are writers, by the imposition of a narrative line upon disparate images, by the "ideas" with which we have learned to freeze the shifting phantasmagoria which is our actual experience.”
