I follow a blog written by an editor of a major publishing house. She is a witty read with great insight and advise on writing, editing, being edited, getting published. . . basically anything to do with writing a book. And as you know, this is a current desire of mine.
A couple days ago she said, ". . . advice regarding how to write. . . Read a lot. Write a lot. Read a lot. Write a lot."
Now I do read and write all day long for work and school. While it has great for practice for the technical aspects of writing there is not much room for creativity. What is more, the Halo book I am currently reading is the first leisure book I have read in years. So I have joined up with GoodReads to track my readings and to remind me to take time for the pleasure of reading something fun. It has also allowed me to add a couple cool widgets to my right sidebar that will show you what I am reading and what I have read.
So, what have you read lately? What is your favorite book? Do you have a recommended read? Leave me a comment and let me know. . .
