One Writer's Beginnings

I know it seems as though I have been talking about this book for forever, but only because it deserves it. At first I thought I would only write two blogs about this novel because it is only 104 pages. Even though I write all of these blogs, not even close to half of the story is revealed to you.
In the three sections of One Writer’s Beginnings, there are break points. It seems as though there are mini chapters in each of the big chapters like headings and subheadings. They are easy to point out also. Not only because of the extra spacing, but also because of how each is ended.
Eudora ends each “chapter” with a moral of some kind or a relation. Something that ties her anecdotes in that section all together.
One ending that stuck out to me the most is when Eudora talks about being physically shy. She states that even as she began to write stories, she started slowly and unsure, but “as time and [my] imagination led [me] on, [I] did plunge”(pg. 21).
This ending stuck out to me for two reasons really. One is because I can relate. I am really shy even around family. Instead of the love for writing like Eudora, I love to dance, and when I am dancing, all of my shyness is gone and I am a totally different person.
The second reason is because of how strong the statement is. Not only does it tie in that “chapter” but it also relates to the whole reason for writing the book. It allows the reader to understand Eudora’s passion for writing and how it changed her life.
Well at least that’s what I got from the message. If you decide to read it, tell me what you get when you read that section.
