“If a story is in you, it has to come out.” ~ William Faulkner
Late post but have to share with my fellow authors, writers and followers that a special person who I regard as a mentor, leader and who cultivates empowerment gifted me this amazing leather journal. What an unexpected delight!

New mural on our town square. We are the place where William Faulkner‘s great grandfather shot and killed someone on our town square. https://mississippiencyclopedia.org/entries/falkner-william-clark/
Have been in New Orleans for a few hours and my first stop after lunch is the Faulkner bookstore, of course! ☺️ Any other bookish recommendations while I‘m here? ⚜️
I came home to a delightful surprise this afternoon. The books I bought on my NOLA trip had arrived. I had completely forgotten about them. Love the gorgeous editions sold at Faulkner House Books. #bookmail #nola
Thought I would share. This is from our town historian
This photo is Richard Jackson Thurmond the former railroad officer who shot W.C. Falkner on Nov. 5, 1889. Falkner died the next day. William Cuthbert Faulkner used the stories he had heard about his great-grandfather in some of his novels and short stories. Thurmond was acquitted and moved back to North Carolina about 1900 where he is buried.
The 25th of September is the Birthday of both William Faulkner and sportswriter Red Smith .
Says Smith"There's nothing to writing.All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein."
pickNo matter how many times I read Faulkner I continue to be amazed at his ability to use words to put together stories that are so fun to read, and so engrossing.
pickHello my Litsy friends sorry to post twice today but I'm just about halfway done with this book and a thought came to me when I saw this picture. With today's computers, spell check, and email I came to the realization that most of the authors I adore did most of their work on a typewriter on a sheet of paper and mail. Just having complete admiration for these awesome men and women, authors from the past.
Anyone else like Faulkner? I've read some of his stories, just got this and looking for anyone else who likes him. You know just for support. 😁😀
I'm visiting my son in Louisiana; and one of my #latestbookishbuys was a little while ago -- this bookmark from #faulknerhousebooks in NOLA. Hoping to make it to Octavia's to score a signed copy of something good. #photoadaynov16 #day25 #bookmark
Happy Birthday, William Faulkner, born on this day, Sept 25, in 1897.
When in Nawlins, you must visit the Faulkner Bookstore. Located in the beautifully named, Pirate's Alley, the alley at St. Louis Cathedral, Faulkner actually lived in this building.
OTD, William Faulkner died. One of the highlights of my college career was going to the annual Faulkner conference in Oxford, MS, in 2014. It was an amazing experience (Square Books ❤️), and I took many pictures- including this one.
