I've had one of those
days. You know. The one where no matter what you do, nothing goes the way you
want it to. That doesn’t mean it’s a bad day. It’s simply a detour of sorts,
and it’s why my post is later than I’d planned.
WAY later. In fact, it's almost time for the letter O.
But I still have a few minutes to introduce the letter N.
Noah Calhoun is a fictional character in Nicholas Sparks’
novel The Notebook. (Wow! Three N’s in that sentence right there!)
Mr. Sparks can write romance like it's noone's business, and The Notebook is one of my fav novels. Also, Noah's an amazing character and tops my list of literary characters that I love.
The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls
are connected. Maybe they always have been and will be. Maybe we’ve lived a thousand
lives before this one and in each of them we’ve found each other. And maybe
each time, we’ve been forced apart for the same reasons. That means that this
goodbye is both a goodbye for the past
ten thousand years and a prelude to what will come. --- a letter to Allie from Noah
*sigh* I can only hope to write romance as awesome as Sparks!

ReplyDeleteTreking by from the A-Z challenge! Glad I found you!
Wow - you were right about Sparks! What a passage! I amost watched the Notebook many times. Everytime I pass by the title - its just never drawn me in. Now that a read that passage, I think im drawn!
I'm sure the book must be far better!

Aw, thanks for stopping by my blog. Nice to meet you, too! *waves*
DeleteI'm having one of those days today. Hope today is better for you!
ReplyDeleteIt's going better, thanks. :)
DeleteI've never read Sparks. I know...I know...I will get on it :)
ReplyDeleteI suggest reading The Notebook. :D
DeleteI have a serious soft spot for Nicholas Sparks-a fellow NC writer. The Notebook and Noah are precious to me, though I have to be honest-the movie didn't do it for me. Plus some of his newer books have been dissapointing:(
ReplyDeleteBut the notebook-I've read again and again and I cry each time. Such a beautiful love story!
I cry reading it, too. Such a good love story.
Deletemy daughter loves this movie, me------
ReplyDeleteI liked the movie, but loved the book more.
DeleteSigh. I don't like Sparks in general, based on some of the things he's said, but I did enjoy The Notebook. Noah was delicious.
ReplyDeleteYeah, his "mouth" doesn't take away from his great writing, but I know what you mean. :)
DeleteThe Notebook is an amazing book - even more of a tear-jerker than the movie, if you can believe it! I like both. Jackie, I have included your blog on my list of "Other Great Blogs." Woo hoo!
