<p>Sometimes you have to go with your gut, hold your breath, and jump.  We just did that with our kids.  After 10 years in the suburbs, we took them out of school and all moved to New York City.  It’s been an awesome period of change.

</br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;About 2.30 in the morning, poor Rachel and Kevin were visibly exhausted and we were the last guests.

NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER

Sometimes you have to go with your gut, hold your breath, and jump. We just did that with our kids. After 10 years in the suburbs, we took them out of school and all moved to New York City. It’s been an awesome period of change. That’s why I’m celebrating pivotal moments in life with a creative challenge that asks for your key moments of change — and to mark Valentine’s Day, why not read a passage from one of the most romantic books I know. The excerpt below highlights the pivotal moment in which two great loves of our lifetime (well, at least my lifetime) met — author Antonia Fraser and Nobel Prize-winning playwright Harold Pinter.
Cheers — to awesome moments of change!

GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS

Given that Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, I thought I’d feature a passage from one of the most romantic books I’ve ever read. Reading it still gives me goosebumps. It’s from Must You Go, the diary of author Antonia Fraser who describes meeting the love of her life, Nobel Prize-winning playwright Harold Pinter.

8 January 1975

A very enjoyable dinner party at Rachel and Kevin’s house in Addison Avenue: a long and convivial table. I was slightly disappointed not to sit next to the playwright who looked full of energy, with black curly hair and pointed ears, like a satyr. Gradually the guests filtered away. My neighbors Richard and Viv King offered me a lift up the road. ‘Wait a minute,’ I said. ‘I must just say goodbye to Harold Pinter and tell him I enjoyed the play; I haven’t said hello all evening.’ They waited at the door. I went over to where Harold was sitting, ‘Wonderful play, marvelous acting, now I’m off.’

I thought of home, my lift, taking the children to school the next morning, the exhausting past night in the sleeper from Scotland, my projected biography of King Charles II…’No, it’s not absolutely essential,’ I said.

A Visit from St. Nicholas soon will be here

We here at DailyLit would like to wish you all the best during the holidays.

Did you know that Clement Clarke Moore’s famous Christmas poem, commonly called “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas”, is actually titled A Visit from St. Nicholas? Due to its extreme popularity during the holidays, its first line is generally taken as the title, though this is technically incorrect — we just learned that!

If you have a spare minute, you may want to click on over to our current Creative Challenge to take the first line of the famous poem and make the rest  – or at least a few lines — your own.  To refresh your memory, here’s the poem in its entirety (by Clement C. Moore) — then hop over here and see what other readers have come up with.  Happy holidays!

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
And mamma in her kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap–

When out on the lawn there rose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter,
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon, on the breast of the new-fallen snow,
Gave a lustre of mid-day to objects below;
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny rein-deer,
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

“Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On! Comet, on! Cupid, on! Dunder and Blitzen–
To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall!
Now, dash away, dash away, dash away all!”
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,
So, up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With a sleigh full of toys–and St. Nicholas too.
And then in a twinkling I heard on the roof,
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.

He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack;
His eyes how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry;

His droll little month was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow;
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath.
He had a broad face, and a little round belly
That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.

He was chubby and plump–a right jolly old elf;
And I laughed when I saw him in spite of myself.
A wink of his eye, and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle;
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
“Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”

DailyLit’s Creative Challenge: School Day Jitters

Our kids are now (finally!) back in school so I thought I’d make this latest challenge about those first days of school. Remember your own first few days when you spotted that new kid in school with the strange knapsack? Or when you were picking out clothes for the first day? In one sentence, describe a scene or memory from those first days of school. You can post it here.

Your Sentences

I asked DailyLit readers to come up with their own sentences — that is, a sentence that encapsulates each of their lives. The idea came from Daniel Pink who said it was a way to orient your life. I thought you’d enjoy reading what readers have come up with; you’ll see some are poignant, others uplifting, and still others that are quite sad):

-She did it HER way (by moengey)

-She spent her life trying to be invisible; now she wants to be heard.
 (by lmarsh1)

-He survived another snow day without strangling the kids. (by NearChaos)

-Work in progress. (by saturntv)

-She didn’t get the fairy tale. (by robind)

-She bit off more than she could chew, and chewed it. (by smorge01)

-He died without ever finding a reason to live. (by Fips)

-For 60-odd years so many mistakes; so many different worlds; so many repercussions; and now at last she begins preparations for life in her own real world, excited at finally living on her own terms doing what she was made for but fearful of there being insufficient time. (elizarussell)

-He crash landed on my heart like warm pancakes. (by birdhugger)

-The best lie goes to: “I love you more!” (by ladybeth22)

-She came and went and I was glad. (by Golem100)

-She never quite felt like she fit in and then happily hit 40 and suddenly didn’t care! (by fnevlntine)

-I’m still circling the drain. (by BashoKatzenjammer)

DailyLit News: Time to Chillax

In case you miss the latest arriving in inboxes today, here it is:

NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER

I think we have it all wrong. We should all be taking off the month of August. There is absolutely no reason we should be sitting at our desks, pretending to work when we could be out by the water “chillaxing” (that is, chilling and relaxing). So I thought I’d highlight the next best thing: a few short stories to transport ourselves to other lands and various creative challenges to keep our minds off work.
So cheers, to chillaxing!

SHORTS AND TAILS
Here are some short stories and tails (well, OK, tales) for some light summer reading:
-Margaret Atwood’s White Horse (meeting her was one of the high points of the year; what an amazing woman!)
-Jhumpa Lahiri’s Hell-Heaven (one of my favorite authors)
-Classic Shorts (featuring stories by Fitzgerald, Chekhov, and Poe; selected by editors of Poets & Writers literary magazine)
-Grimm’s Fairy Tales (I still can’t remember the difference between Rapunzel and Rumpelstiltskin; can you?)
-Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray (I’ve been meaning to re-read this novella — or do I just think I’ve read it?)
-E.M. Forster’s A Room with a View (always transports me to Florence!)

VOTRE PASSEPORT, SI’L VOUS PLAÎT

Even if you can’t swing a trip to France or Spain this summer, you can armchair travel with Berlitz Essential French Phrases or Berlitz Essential Spanish Phrases.

HIGHLIGHT: CREATIVE CHALLENGES

At least look as though you’re getting serious work done by tackling one of these past creative challenges (or just check out other readers’ contributions):
- 50 Word Challenge (write an extremely short story with a beginning, middle and end)
-10 Word Summer Memories (quick, before you forget!)
-Summer Love in One Sentence (who can resist?)
-What’s Your Favorite Word? (Mine is “chillax” — introduced to me by my 11 year old son as in, “You need to chillax, Mom.”)
-And then for a couple of aspirational, thought-provoking challenges: What’s Your Sentence? (need to think of a sentence that describes your life) and Before I die… (enough said).
-Your Perfect Day (our latest challenge: “What does your perfect day look like?” Mine would start in a cafe in Paris reading The International Herald Tribune, eating a freshly-baked croissant and sipping cafe au lait; I’d then hang out at Shakespeare & Company bookshop followed by a stroll through the gardens of the Picasso Museum.) And yours? What’s your perfect day?

DailyLit’s Creative Challenge: Contribute to the Story

This month’s creative challenge is a collective challenge. I’m asking readers to contribute a sentence to a story so that it makes one long story chain. The first line in the chain is from Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina. It goes: “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” You can contribute to the chain here.

Many thanks to reader dvoizin for suggesting the idea of the story chain, to author Margaret Atwood for suggesting that we start off with a line from a classic novel and to reader dreamdust for suggesting the first line to kick it off.

Who knows where the story will take us?

DailyLit Seeking Great First Line to Kick off Creative Challenge

For our upcoming creative challenge, DailyLit reader dvoizin suggested the following: “what if a story line was started (by DailyLit) and each member were able to add to it to create a multiple authored story? Might have some interesting twist & turns…?”

I originally thought that Margaret Atwood could write that first line, but she suggested that we use a great line from a classic book (e.g. “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times” or “Call me Ishmael”). I like that suggestion but thought I’d let you decide which great first line we should use to start us off.

So, any ideas? What’s a great first line should we use to kick off our chain? You can enter it here.
