Feelin' Whitehead
Sag Harbor isn’t the most spicy action book we’ve read this semester. Some would even say that nothing actually happened. I agree. However, it was still a striking read to me because of the recent semester project. If you are not a practiced writer, maybe you can relate to this thought: I’m sure I could write a bestseller if I wanted to, how hard can it be? I’ve admittedly toyed with this thought from time to time, usually because I’m reading a book that’s so good it seems to have flowed smoothly right from the author’s life onto paper. How hard could it be? Well, the answer is very hard, and every so often I am reminded by something like the semester project to take myself down a peg. Catch me racking my brain to come up with something to describe that isn’t Holden’s eyes or the color of the sky. Writing a book seems easy until you realize you have no idea how to string words together. Despite my mediocre end product, I really appreciated the semester project for what it taught
