It’s superb. Go and get it.

Hello and welcome to my page~ My name is Larisa--a very common Slavic name that was either derived from the Latin word hilaris, meaning "cheerful," or from the Greek city of Larissa, meaning "strong fortress." Born in Ukraine, I emigrated with my family to America when I was still a small child and now make my home in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Growing up immersed in two vastly differing cultures led me to have a burning curiosity about people all over the world. Stemming from said curiosity, I have fallen in love with traveling to other countries, meeting new people and delving into their culture, exploring new cities, and of course, dining on the local cuisine! If I cannot escape into a different country, then my next favorite method of adventure is to lose myself in a spectacular book. I enjoy books of all genres--from fiction and novels, to biographies and ethnographies. As long as it captures my fancy and holds me spellbound the entire time, I will burn through the book like a forest fire! Because of this penchant for reading and travel, coupled with my love of deep and mysterious things, I have been often called a dreamer and I find the title suits me. With that being said, I invite you to stay a while, perhaps make yourself a cup of tea and linger through my posts and feel free to comment or share a thought :-) View all posts by ebonyandcrows

Well, that was short and to the point. Now I have to add another book to my ever-growing stack, haha.

Yes it was, wasn’t it? Laughing! Quality things don’t need many words for them to be sold, they sell themselves 😉

Hi Stef! I am so glad you purchased it! He is a lovely writer and you can even follow him on Word Press. (He commented on my post, “On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous” So you can find him through there.) I hope you’re doing well, dearest.

The author should compensate you for the endorsement and photo. A gold star for you😊

I’m chuckling 😁 Thank you for the gold star 😌 But no, I am not looking for compensation. I did this of my own free will because I love supporting people. And River is a poet I follow here on WP 😉

That’s very nice of you! It’s a wonderful acknowledgment of his/her hard work to get published, and also of a friendship.

Completely agree! I’ve thought about writing a book and I’m always filled with this enormous sense of “daunting.”

I think that’s a natural thing to feel. It’s a lot of work, but you have the talent to do it, and it would feel wonderful to look back on how it all came together.

Well, an author I know in real life (not that this isn’t real life lol) told me, “the time will pass anyway, Larisa.” It’s true, I think writing a book is largely also about having the correct mindset. I love this quote I read once that loosely said something like, “If you want to read the perfect story, write it yourself.” But I loooove getting lost in someone else’s perfect story!

Songwriting seems so much different. When I write, then record, It’s like a very short story. Writing a book to me would be like writing a concept album, where all the songs would be like chapters in a book.

Haha I loved that analogy. I love how different artists view a certain topic in their own unique way. In the way that they have programmed their mind to work at its best. This can delve into a topic of programming if I’m not careful (I’ve run into too much bad programming in my life in people) 😅

Self programming? I wish I had a program for recording. Most of the time, I’m just noodling around on guitar and a chord appeals to me. Then it’s on, and words come, then more chords. I’m pretty sure that’s not how most trained musicians think. 😉

Programming that results from fear or xenophobia, long-standing cultural traditions, etc. Your way of creating is how it’s supposed to be done, I think 😉 I slowly absorb beautiful words into me and they sorta just brew there inside until one day I unleash them on the world in the form of poetry. More often than not, I don’t know what form it will take.

Not knowing what form it will take is similar to my writing. It may start off on acoustic guitar, but end up not having any guitar at all in the song.
