An "I Love Stationery" Blog Post
I have the very lovely Jodi Linton on my blog today talking about her love of all things 'paper'. Take it away Jodi...
First off, thank you, Eve, for inviting this Texas gal on your blog!
As one might assume as an author I've had my fair share of paper run-ins. There's been the ominous paper cut, to the ever-so-entertaining airplane folding that always ended in a crash and rip on the hardwood living room floors. I had paper dolls and I had diaries which will forever keep their secrets locked and sealed beneath a brass heart padlock. As a matter of fact, some of my best childhood memories are scribbled on those creased pages, and yeah I sobbed a time or two over a playground sweetheart. But if I want to spill my secrets, the go to place would be the skyscraper high stack of spiral notebooks on top of my writing desk.
I might've shed a tear over a school yard love, and I might've soared high enough to reach the ceiling fan with a single piece of paper. The thing is, if you want to get down to all the juicy details, my life works, my accomplishments, my pitfalls, and my so-so moments, well, it's all inside the numerous spiral notebooks housed inside dresser doors and stacked up against living room walls. That's where I hide my fantasies, the love poems to my husband, my writing adventures, and the small little moments when my son learned to walk. Okay, I guess y'all figured out by now I'm a sucker for paper. Paper dolls, paper bags, paper airplanes, and let's not forget "pretty" paper.
Tell me. Where are y'alls secrets housed?
