the Law of Undulation

What I’ve read this summer.

I intend to read 100 books this summer that I’ve never read before. I am going to include things I was supposed to read for school, but skimmed instead, which isn’t cheating because now I’m highlighting, skanks. 

1. The Mist by Stephen King
2. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
3. 1984 by George Orwell
4. Jazz by Toni Morrison
5. The House Next Door by Sue Ann Siddons
6. Brave New World Revisited by Aldous Huxley
7. A Primer on Postmodernism by Stanely J. Grenz
8. Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis

I also intend to read Dance, Dance, Dance and IQ84 by Haruki Murakami. Other suggestions? :)

I’m compiling a list of what makes me, uh, me.

Here’s what I’ve gathered. 

• I am Catherine J Smith
• I love reading
• Horses, musicals, my fat cat, the color navy blue, books, kindle files, newspapers, aliens, paranormal crap, dancing, Johnathan, bears, the Office, Community, dinosaurs, and shopping for things I don’t need.
• My favorite movies are Jurassic Park, Super 8, and Oklahoma! 
• I like studying the end of the world, and how popular literature thinks that will come about (Literary eschatology and apoctalypticism) so I must be dark and funny as hell. 
• Jesus loves me. 
• I go through phases of interest like a 4 year old. 
• I am unapologetically me. I get jealous of other people and their unique traits, but all cards on the table, I like me, more and more as I rediscover myself underneath the jealousy. In fact, I don’t know why I ever questioned that I could go further in life.

I’m having an interesting soul-searching summer, y’all.

Shalom. :)

how to be a writer

• start to write something
• pause and read over what you have so far
• cringe
• backspace everything
• exit out of your computer
• cry on the floor
