a bit of lit

Oh, the things I think about when I can't sleep. Several weeks ago, I was trying to come up with blog category titles when Insomnia was visiting.

I'm a bit compulsive about jotting down or underlining bits of text that stand out to me, but what to do with these words? I haven't kept my own great lines copybook regularly in about a decade. So, I thought I'd just note striking lines/phrases/whatnot here.

And, when I refer to 'lit,' I'm not necessarily only talking Literature as in Belonging-to-the-Canon,-Demanding-Pompous-Capital-Letters kind of lit. More like 'written words,' except that 'a bit of lit' has a kind of fun ring to it (especially when it's going on four in the morning and my mind refuses to chill) that 'stuff I've read' doesn't.
