You know, I'm beginning to see why people say you shouldn't read in your genre while writing.

This post won't be long, but it will be a bit whiny.

I just finished re-reading tambowrites' last novel, Valley of the Soul, and I'm currently now feeling that

a. I shouldn't ever try and write again

and

b. I won't be able to wait until Stain of Corruption comes out.

Sigh.

Okay, wallowing time is over. Back to work.

P.S. tambowrites, when is Stain coming out again????? :D

Hugs,

I feel like that often, so I've developed a plan.

a/ Stop reading

b/ read, enjoy, study. What is it of that story I loved so much and how do I put that into my own writing. Sort of like a critique.

c/ write and write and write. If I'm not at that level yet, believe I soon will be.

Besides girl, you're published too.

I am, and am now struggling to write the next book. Which is why I bow before people who can successfully write series. Because they're damn hard.
