I've been obsessed with reading this week, but not my own book. I read the "Hunger Games" series -- yes, all three books -- by Suzanne Collins and then I read "Knit Two," the sequel to "Friday Night Knitting Club" by Kate Jacobs.
Before I start reading another book -- "The Elegance of the Hedgehog" by Muriel Barbery is next on my list -- I plan to read as much as possible of my own novel this weekend. I'm making solid progress, but I still need to cut it down a bit more. I'm beginning to think I need to have another friend or two read it to give me some feedback.
Fortunately, tonight is a rare phenomenon. It's past 10 p.m. and I still have a fair amount of energy left, so I'm doing laundry and reading, reading, reading. Fun, fun, fun.
I'm trying to keep in mind that the payoff when I finish editing my book is that I can start working on others that have been waiting to snag my attention again. It's been a while since I visited some of my other stories, but I think about them often.
Occasionally I write down some of the ideas that come to me in the shower or at work so that I remember to work them into those other books when I pull them up on my computer screen at home again. Someday soon, I hope.
