Harry Potter, a Reflection from the Front Lines

15 Jul

The almost decade long journey of Harry Potter as chronicled in the books and the movies is about to come to an end. For so many young and old we’ve gotten caught up in the marvel and wonder of a world that we could actually imagine existing. I’ve read all of the books and have been diligent in seeing all the movies. I’m not a Potter fanatic, although I’m sure many of you know a few.

What’s in a name? In my opinion, a lot. I’m not Latoya, I’m most definitely LaToya. I may not always drive home that point by obnoxiously reminding you that that’s how my name is spelled, but it’s a big part of who I am. I think in many ways the T has defined me. Tenacious. Tender.

It’s a bit like reading or even riding a bike, once you know how, you always can. And like riding a bike, I expect that I’ll be a bit rusty getting back on the literary road. I’m unlike my best friend who famously writes because he can’t control himself. I write when the mood takes me. I’m a bit like most people, when my buttons are pushed or I feel like I should add my two cents, I do. Yes, I have written before. However, with a number of years since the former acclaim of writing for and editing my high school and college newspapers, there seems to be little point in mentioning it. I only do so to add an air of credibility that I imagine may be required by some readers.

The Journey Begins

10 Jul

This week my first article with The Union-Recorder will appear and so I wanted to take this opportunity to branch out in another creative way and feature the articles plus a little more. My articles are scheduled to appear in the paper on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month. So in addition to publishing them here on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday I’ll also be posting a new article that will only be featured here. I’m anxious to hear what you think about my articles as well as what you’d like to see me write about. So here’s to a new journey and I hope you’re along for the ride.
