Hello,

Outside of my thesis I am still reading through the Harry Potter series. I am on the fourth book. The first one was hard for me only because I couldn't really visualize anything. However, this book really feels more like escapism than the books. While the first two really introduced me to the characters and the world of Hogwarts I feel Prisoner of Azkaban and this book have really developed the characters. Also this one feels much more like literature than a kid book (no offense). But sometimes I will admit I get a bit lost in all the characters. I think I have asked my roommate a few times if Peeves is a ghost.
Also, over the weekend I got a real itch to do more creative writing. I found this great pin and I could totally see Shane saying that to Daphne.

and I thought I could do a quick free write with it. But I just stared blankly at the computer, not able to think how I would fill in the blanks and not sure what I would write. Though I wanted to write I couldn't. My mind feels like such a haze. To remedy my desire to write I did take some time typing up part of my story I had already hand written (that felt like such a release). Now I want share part of it with you....

"Lady
Mathilda, I like the sound of that." He made her giggle. "I am glad
to see you smile again."
"Thank you Kelby."
Example of a temple {pic} |
At that moment they heard the over
cast sky give a little grumble and the pale gray sky was now presenting them a
summer shower. Kelby without thinking took Mattie's hand and lead them to the
Temple of Diana. It wasn't really temple just a folly, much in the style of
other Grecian temples that had been popular throughout the eighteenth century.
It was the best place to wait out the summer storm. Even though it was the
closest structure to the backwoods they were still soaked causing a shiver over
her whole body. Kelby saw her shiver and pulled her close into his arms and
held her there. Mattie couldn't remember any man outside of Marcus who had ever
hugged her.
"Come let's get you warm,"
he said once the rain stopped.
"Oh Kelby I do not want to go
home. I cannot face her, not yet."
"Miss Mathilda, one must never
be afraid to face your fears." With that he took his thumb and brushed the
hair that fallen in front of her face. "But, perhaps you need some tea to
strengthen you up." And he gave her a little smile.
She could not say what she was
feeling, she was only thirteen and all she felt this way before. She had
trembled when he touched her cheek but it didn't scare her it felt comforting.
Mattie was so happy when he took her back in the way through Cranston Court.

I will admit that I was inspired by two scenes from Jane Austen films for this scene...The first one being the first proposal from Pride and Prejudice (2005).
