So I shared a pic on Facebook and it got me to thinking...
I know, scary, right?
It said this:
"The moment when you finish a book, look around and realize that everyone is just carrying on with their lives as though you didn't just experience emotional trauma at the hands of a paperback."
I can't tell you how many times I have gotten so sucked into a story and when it is over and I close the book, I look around like, "Wow, why isn't everyone else FEELING this!?" So often have I been moved and inspired by what someone has written. I hope that someday, maybe, someone will feel that way about something I have written. I want to affect people like that. Even if it is just a tiny stirring, a bare flicker of movement, a minute tug of the heart strings.
I. Want. That.
Have you ever read something that has moved you like this?
I don't think I've necessarily ever experienced that, but it sounds fun to try.
ReplyDeletelol Michael, then you haven't really LIVED, sir. If you haven't felt something like that from a book... :D
ReplyDeleteIt is so wonderful when I find a book I can't put down, that sucks me in and changes me. I feel so inspired. I kove that feeling!
