I am still reading Lisey's Story. I got to a really good part today, you know, the really horrific juicy stuff. It is amazingly good. And creepy. I love it.
It makes me think about when I get to those moments in my own writing. Creating them, the tense, terrible, wonderful, insane things that the enire story has been building up to, is as fun to write as they are to read. More so actually, at least for me.
It's a great feeling to be in that zone, when your brain is travelling a thousand miles a second and your hand can barely keep up. It is those times that remind me why I wanted to be a writer in the first place. If you've ever been there, you know what I'm talking about.
I got a little writing done too. I'm working on the second book in the Collapse at Hidden Verse Three-Three-Two series. I had so much fun with the first one, that I couldn't stop there. I just fell in love with the characters. Now if someone would just buy the first book. It will be available on Amazon.com in the next few weeks. (And other online stores) I hope people will give it a shot. It really is a fun read. Anyways, enough with the plug for my book.
I'm also working on a completely different novel. I'm getting close to halfway on that one.
I'll sign out with a quote (maybe not an exact quote, but this is the basic idea) from one of my favorite authors:
Kurt Vonnegut said,
"Each and every character in a story should want something, even if it's a glass of water."
Kurt was the man, and we should all listen to him.
That's it for now.
