Many of my favorite books as a kid were Dr. Seuss ones, and I find that even as an adult, his books still have meaning. For instance, Oh, The Places You'll Go! speaks to my life as a writer in an almost prophetic way, particularly the "waiting room" portion. That is exactly what I feel like in my writing journey -- waiting for the phone to ring, for a yes or a no -- how does he know so much about me?!
Take a moment and listen to this reading of Oh, The Places You'll Go! (read by the talented John Lithgow) and tell me which part you identify with most as a writer. Are you one of the high flyers? Or are you in a slump? Or, like me, are you in the waiting place?
I would have loved to have dined with the man. Wonder how he'd talk about his food. Green eggs and ham, sam I am!
ReplyDeleteToo. Much. Fun!

Me too, Wendy! Although, I don't know if he'd be able to come up with a word to rhyme with my pancakes. Hamsteaks?
ReplyDeleteOh, Dr. Seuss! I love Red Fish, Blue Fish. (Hope I remembered the title correctly!)
ReplyDeleteWaiting is soooo hard. I'm hoping you'll get the call you want soon!
I'm in an up & down place, but I'm excited so that's good!
I don't really know Dr. Seuss, but I heard a lot about him.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good works!
I am looking forward to see more.
