So, evidently I needed to have a blog to read Terry Odell's blog, and so I decided to create a blog since I've been reading so many lately. As of yet, I have no goal. However, I am a writer, and have written 107 pages thus far of my first novel, and appreciate all the other writers, agents, editors and the like, who expose the industry for what it's worth.
...Why is it so easy to write a blog post, but not so much a novel? Am I trying too hard? Probably. I'm currently reading Chapter After Chapter by the wonderful Heather Sellers. It's a brilliant read and I've enjoyed it.. I'm currently on my "Book 100"... the little theory she has of the fact that you NEED to read 100 books of a similar genre to your own. I decided to pick up Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe first.. Crazy, I know, but I have a jungle-ish scene thing in my book, so I figured, why not? I've always wanted to read Robinson Crusoe (again? I can't really remember if I read it as a child)...
I love feedly.. It helps me tremendously... except for the rare occasions when it bugs out on me, in which case I then use Google Reader.. I do much prefer Feedly though.
Well, as I've said, I didn't exactly plan on doing this, but here it seems I am. I haven't the faintest idea what this will consist of, but I do hope that many/some/a few of you will join me for the journey as I find out.
