"So ran the current of my life in childhood, very quiet and simple, you perceive. Nothing at all exciting about it, nothing that savours of a 'career.' Some might think it dull. But life never held for me a dull moment. I had, in my vivid imagination, a passport to the geography of Fairyland. In a twinkling I could--and did--whisk myself into regions of wonderful adventures, unhampered by any restrictions of time or place." --Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942), author of Anne of Green Gables, from her book, The Alpine Path: The Story of My Career
No writing adventures yet, but I am going to an amusement park with lots of haunted houses tomorrow. I'm excited. :D
ReplyDeleteI love that quote and the image is also quite lovely...from the author of one of my fave children's series!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love L.M. She is a huge inspiration to me! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to see my grandchildren today. They never fail to provide an inspiration of one kind or another. My biggest writing adventure right now - I just changed the direction of the book I'm working on and have to rewrite the last chapters!
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm late on commenting, here~ life has been handing me extra lemons lately, so I'm in "make lemonade" overdrive :) LM Montgomery is one of my favorite authors, and I really love this post! Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteI have never read that quote --loved it.My weekend was filled with adventure--my husband and I drive all over this new area trying to learn more about Texas.
