I got the idea for this list from reading Julia Cameron’s book, The Right To Write. This is the “Initiation Tool” for her tenth chapter, entitled Drama.

    Cimeron, next time you see someone with a newborn baby, smell the top of its pointed little head! You will be amazed… there’s nothing quite like it. I can remember the scent: pure, delicate, musty, and too quickly lost forever.

    Well I guess Socrates would be a good name and Socks a good nick. He will always be my Sexy Socky.
    Oh give them a pet for me….

About Me

Hi, I'm Linda, the Book Lady, and I'm excited about reading. A book is a gift you give yourself. It is so much fun to open that cover and discover what was hidden within. Books share the wisdom of the ages with us. Who wouldn't want that? So I read frequently and encourage reading. If you're a reader, let me know by becoming my friend on GoodReads.


My novel, River Girl, is about a girl living in the Klamath River Valley.

All about Linda's Life.
