“I’ve learned about living from her. I took her as a serious actress even before I met her. I think she’s an adroit comedienne, but I also think she might turn into the greatest tragic actress that can be imagined.” Arthur Miller →

“Eloise, if you keep touching those rocks we’ll never get to the park...” So said an exasperated mom to an exploring toddler, exceptionally layered against the cold, as the wind cut down 72nd street. She was dressed for an expedition but this LA dame certainly wasn’t... However, I did get to bask in some #maxfieldparrish blue. #thankyou @kfullermendez . . . . . #centralpark #cityscape #exploretocreate #nyc #bluesky #pond #fredericklawolmsted #design #garden #urban #autumninnewyork #fallingleaves #water #artofvisuals #eastside #manhattan #citypark #westcoastmeetseastcoast #autumncolors

“I felt better knowing he was only a bus ride away, a straight shot down Fifth Avenue; and in the night when I woke up jarred and panicked, the explosion plunging through me all over again, sometimes I could lull myself back to sleep by thinking of his house, where without even realizing it you slipped away sometimes into 1850, a world of ticking clocks and creaking floorboards, copper pots and baskets of turnips and onions in the kitchen, candle flames leaning all to the left in the draft of an opened door and tall parlor windows billowing and swagged like ball gowns, cool quiet rooms where old things slept.” . And yes, I will be journeying east from #losangeles with a traveling companion that weighs a little more than my computer, but ever so much more engaging. . . . #bookstagram #bookquotes #bibliophile #reading #thegoldfinch #newyorkcity #novel #goodreads #literature #dickensian #shelfie #library #bookish #author #bookworm #painting #design #shadowandlight #artofvisuals #exploretocreate #october #autumnmood #flashofdelight #nothingisordinary #wordswilltakeyouthere

The wind knocked the power out in the dark of #MondayMorning and at first light I turned to coffee and #EdithWharton. “I read the other day in a book by a fashionable essayist that ghosts went out when electric light came in. What nonsense!” All Souls’ and After Holbein, short stories in the #spooky #Halloween #spirit. Ah, and what do you know, the whir of electricity and we’re back on the grid. . . . . . #shelfie #bookstagram #author #writersofinstagram #bookworm #bookshelf #bibliophile #library #ghosts #goodmorning #goodreads #october #autumn #pumpkin #painting #homedecor #artofvisuals #postitfortheaesthetic

They say the dead can walk on Halloween, but in my neighborhood they’re preparing for a dance recital... . . . . . #skeleton #ballet #releve #tutu #winged #faerie #spirits #ghost #halloween #decorations #autumn #dance #architecture #oldhouse #palms #hollywood #hauntedhouse #trickortreat

When I write I walk early in the morning. Today it struck me, as I rambled through the neighborhood, that reading a book is sometimes like having a conversation with an old friend, and for their clarifying, depth-giving, plot-thickening feedback I thank @heidi_gutman and @heybillkuhn. . . . . . #bookstagram #amwriting #bookworm #novel #writersofinstagram #postitfortheaesthetic #hollywoodnovel #oldhouse #landscape #archidaily #thehappynow #flashesofdelight #nothingisordinary #exploretocreate #bibliophile #literature #architecture #onceuponatime #bungalow #pursuepretty #nestandflourish #friends #thatsdarling #garden #bluesky #californiadreaming #artofvisuals

I just finished the second draft of a novel. Aldous Huxley gave me his gut reaction to it in my dreams. He said, “I enjoyed the manuscript immensely, dear. But, I do think you would be taken more seriously if you employed less humor.” Anita Loos was bobbing her head silently in agreement. Even in my dream I was aware that was odd, because Ms. Loos was rarely silent about anything... . #amwriting another #hollywood #novel, link in the profile. . #california #dream #bookstagram #book #bluesky #garden #design #landscape #read #LAStory #architecture #MyDayInLA #elegance #style #september #flashesofdelight #amazing #losangeles #artofvisuals #author #literature #lovebooks #goodreads #socal #story
