For as long as I can remember I have always believed (and seen) hauntings. They have never been scary or intimidating to me as much as they have been illuminating and full of a form of grace. Which is to say, not all hauntings come to one in darkness. Sometimes they arrive in the unflinching bright of the day. Which is to say, not all hauntings are nightmares-- some come to find you in a daydream. When the mention of a girl haunting the story like a ghost, I viewed her as more of a guider than a haunter because some ghosts are better at showing than scaring. My question is this: is there a ghost that guides you/haunts you towards your art, or is she more muse than ghost? When you are creating do you feel like there is someone standing right behind you, waiting? Do you feel like your creation is only complete once you no longer feel someone behind you, rather you see her, finally, staring right at you from the page? #BookClub #smallbacksofchildren #readingisfun #ilovereading

Onto the next book for book club! Someone suggested that I open my book club up to Instagram folks so that is what I'm going to do starting with "The Small Backs of Children" by one of my favorite writers, Lidia Yuknavitch. I'm not entirely sure how this new project will unfold, but feel free to join the adventure and read along with me. You have until June 5th to finish and I'll be posting questions for you to ponder, as well as some of my favorite passages I read in the meantime. Let's start here: What muse motivates you? How does she come to you, and do you always respond to her? #bookclub #smallbacksofchildren #lidiayuknavitch #femaleauthors #readingissexy #readingisfun!!
