A Little Break

Work has been so exhausting the last few days that I haven't written anything at home lately, with the exception of a few e-mails and Facebook posts. I hope to get back on track soon. I'm afraid to even open my latest project for fear of not knowing how to pick up where I left off.

I just finished reading a book called "Mathilda Savitch." I liked it. The title character was fun and sassy and odd. She had a unique voice that she stayed true to throughout the book. I was envious of the way the author carried the girl's voice through the story, helping the reader see her world through Mathilda's eyes, because I have a character I'm working on now and I feel like I'm having a hard time telling her story while staying true to her unique tone and perspective.

Now I need something fun to read after that oddly dark book. Something that might even have a happy ending and might lift me out of the funk I've been in this week. I might just scour my bookshelf to see what old gems I've got lying about.
