Creative Genius

Today, I just want to share an amazing video that Stephanie Perkins had up on her blog.


I love the story about the poem rumbling over the landscape. I have poems that I'm not sure I should be taking credit for because they just came to me. None of them ever came out backwards on the page though.

And now, I'm off to visit my library and put her book, EAT, PRAY, LOVE on hold.

  3. Myrna! Cool to find you! I was reading Emily Mortensen's blog, and saw your comments. Loved the video. I've heard about her book but was never inspired enough by the title to actually pick it up. However, I think I am now intrigued enough by HER to pick it up. Thanks for sharing it!

  5. Creativity from something divine. I'll buy that!

    I can't say that I loved Eat, Pray, Love (at least not enough to pick up Committed), but it was intriguing watching her speak and made me like her better for it.

    Thanks for sharing!

  6. I loved that! I wasn't expecting her to be funny, but I laughed out loud. And she had some great things to say. I sure hope my genius isn't lame!

  7. Jackee, I haven't read anything by her (yet), but I loved the video.

    Susan, the "your genius is kind of lame" made me laugh, too.
