The smell of newsprint thrills me as much today just as it did when I was a little girl, hoisted on Granddaddy’s hip, taking a tour of the back shop. I remember inhaling the heady mixture of ink, bay breezes and dirt…

I’ve never used all 5 senses to read a blog before. Can’t wait for the book.

We can’t escape ourselves now can we?

Great memory. I love writing about childhood memories - the smells and feelings are so fresh and tactile regardless of the passage of time.

I love reconnecting with the pace of life I left behind. Congrats on the book!

Congratulations on the book Belle. I can’t wait to read it.
I imagine newsprint would taste kinda foul but I get the metaphor.

As much as we question them, those things which are ingrained deeply in our soul will not always be smooth and fitted, or irritating and uncomfortable - they are here to help us grow and evolve.
Keep at it.

I love your site. I am a friend of a friend of a friend, who told me about it. I just moved back from New York to Texas so I love reading what I am missing. You inspired me to post some writings of my own. Congrats on the book deal…I will for sure be a reader!

Btw Belle, I’m curious about this book deal (congrats!!). Will it be an actual published novel, or something online?
November 23rd, 2005 at 12:14 pm
I’m starting to wonder if a book deal equals the end of this lovely blog…how sad! I hope I’m wrong.
Happy Thanksgiving All!
