It's been awhile...

Dear kiddies...

I feel the writers block breaking its long silence.

I feel like I can't remember what I need to say but that there's always something to say. It's rather annoying.

I've decided I'm going to let my thoughts slip out through my finger tips and onto this keyboard which will transfer my words onto the screen and then, maybe then, something good will happen. Some sort of thought, some emotion will be put into the words which, for me, have been "just words" for so long.

Perhaps I should say something about dear Harry Potter. I know everyone's been talking about the books/movies since the last one came out. But I feel that after everything the books have done for me, I should at least declare my undying love for them.

Harry Potter saved me.

Those books brought me from a sad place in my silly elementary school brain to a new world with new friends and new places and new ideas.

Harry Potter was my escape. It still is sometimes. And I don't mean that I was trying to run away from anything. But sometimes things happened, as they always do, and I needed to forget for a little while. And what better place to go than into the adventure that is unlike any other, before or since.

Hope, despair, laughter, love, magic, good, evil, joy, anger, adventure, sadness, and so much more.

May I just say that when I read the last line of the seventh book ("All was well.") I balled like the baby I am for a good long while. I'd cried so much throughout the whole thing already and then, just when I thought I was going to be okay, it hit me. But it is so well worth the tears.

So much of my life has been wrapped up in this. I remember the exact place I was when I read the first book all the way through for the first time. I read it in one day, sitting on my couch, a little girl who's eyes had been opened to magic.

And, though some of it was changed up a bit, I really enjoyed the seventh movie.

Well, that's just some of my thoughts about my dear love for Harry Potter. Thank you J.K. Rowling.

Sincerely,
Kaitlin R.

Blah, blah, blah...

I have been struck...or is it stricken?...struck with a case of writer block.

Please forgive the lack of posts for a time while I get my creative juices flowing again.

Sincerely,
Kaitlin R.
