My new strategy (see previous post) is working well. I read a chapter or two in my completed novel then reward myself by working on another book that I'd put on hold for a while. It's refreshing to wrap my head around a new cast of characters while also making progress on my last read-through of the finished book.
I've also been reading like crazy. Right now, I'm working on "Clockwork Angel" by Clarissa Clare, the first book in her "Infernal Devices" series and the prequel to her "Mortal Instruments" series, which I loved (and have read twice). I also finished "Paper Towns" by John Green, which was hilarious, but kind of sad, yet gratifying. As you can see, I'm on a young adult binge. It's research. And just fun.
I also recently read "Shiver" by Maggie Stiefvater and now I'm dying to read the next book in the series, "Linger." I'd call them werewolf stories, but they're shape-shifting wolves, not monsters. It's also a love story, so as a fan of Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight," the series is right up my alley.
Tonight, I'm in a quandary, because I want to keep reading "Clockwork Angel," but I didn't do much writing and editing this weekend, and I also could stand to do a little bit of writing for work. I'm leaning toward reading, especially since it's a little chilly outside and my favorite thing to do when it's cold is curl up in the corner of the couch and get lost in a book. Decisions, decisions ...
