Second novel is getting good!
Getting into the summertime groove
Summer has hit us… a couple of days over one hundred degrees, and I can feel myself melting when my feet hit the pavement. So I sludge back inside, wishing my air conditioner would have superhero powers and cool the house like an air-conditioned car. But alas, such is not the case.
What’s been happening?
I’ve got into the groove of clicking out 2k words on average every morning this month. I make my way onto my writing couch, throw my feet up, and read the last paragraph from the day before. I contemplate and consider, daydream and decipher. Then I lose myself to the moment and write until that time where I really can’t write anymore for fear of being late for work.
One of my favorite lines written this month:
The blinding darkness made the feeling of her elbow touching his all the more confusing, his mind festering with risqué ideas. To the point where he became uncomfortable and started fidgeting, earning a pinch and a hiss to keep still.
What have I read this month?
How Not to Die: Discover the Foods Scientifically Proven to Prevent and Reverse Disease by Michael Greger
I listened to this one as an audiobook during my commute to and from work. What a dense piece of work! The refreshing thing was the amount of scientific references rather than opinions.
Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott
A true classic that I’ve been meaning to get to for a while. It was a delightful read and the reason behind me allocating time to writing every morning.
The Dark God Series by John D. Brown
My fiction read for the month. I’ve raced through the first two books, Servant and Curse, and am now wrapping up the series with Raveler. The magic system in this series is highly captivating and unique. Definitely worth a read!
