I like what I read, but hilariously enough, I had a hard time getting myself to finish. I think because it touched some raw nerves, and I would’ve rather been knitting.

going back to writing
Twice in the last two days — once when visiting with my friend Kat, and then again while talking D&D with C and one of our other players — I’ve found myself talking about my 2010 National Novel Writing Month project. I never finished it; I just fell off and didn’t get back, although I tried to poke at it during December 2010. And in talking about the subject and the setting, I found myself getting excited about it again. This even though much of the detail of the story is a bit hazy. (It’s a fantasy novel in a setting somewhat like Central Asia, involving an acrobat and a reluctant heir.) So maybe I should go back to that….

Stupid Overdrive expired this while I was reading it. I was about half-way through, and up to that point I’d give it 3 stars. Pretty well written & energetic; not much new to me. Was very curious about what recommendations were in part three.

Had to take back to the library w/out finishing, or even reading more than a few of the hacks. But I liked what I did read, & would be tempted to pick up a copy for my own reference. Plus it got me reinspired about keeping my email tidy.
