Dec 30
I spent yesterday reading HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE. Wept like a child at the end. I don’t often do that. I believe the last book that made me blubber like that was THE GREEN MILE by Stephen King. ::sniff:: Today, I’m diving into HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS. I simply can’t do anything else. It’s imperative. I haven’t read any spoilers, really, although I have heard a few things.
I just can’t say enough about how impressed I am with J.K. Rowling. I can’t begin to fathom the pressure she lived under. To have done this incredible task is akin to magic, only that’s not fair because she clearly worked her tail off. She deserves every inch of praise and thanks. Holy crap. I wonder if non-writers can even get an inkling of what a herculean job she not only did, but did fantastically well. Oddly, rather than making me feel like a tiny little bit of a writer, her accomplishment makes me want to give writing my all. Not that I believe I can write anything like her, but I can write pedal-to-the-metal like me.
Anyway, I hope you’re all doing something wonderful in the last days of the year. I miss egg nog.
