As Finders Keepers makes its way through the realm of publishing, the question is: what’s next? Well, I’m not quite ready to share that yet–soon I promise!–but the truth is, I need to read more.
Most writers will tell you that (or at least most good writers, anyway) the more they read good writing, the more it helps them.

Most writers will tell you that (or at least most good writers, anyway) the more they read good writing, the more it helps them. Well, as I gear up for my upcoming projects, I’m trying to read a bit more than I have been lately. Part of it is time, part of it is energy. I spend so much time in front of a computer all day–including writing and blogging–that some days I just don’t want to read. I know it helps me if I do, but my brain needs a rest!
That said, I do have my nose in a few books–and a few comic books. My usual path is to read two books simultaneously. One for more deep research, one just for fun. I’m more than half way through on one book and not quite half-way through on the other. And when I can keep my eyes open long enough to focus, it’s been quality stuff. Of course, I can’t tell you what I’m [i]reading[/i] at the moment, because that would tip you off on what I’m [i]writing[/i], but I will say that it’s getting me–slowly–to where I want to be.
