(personal) Before I forget

I need to do stuffs today. >.<

1. Balance checkbook!
2. Cut coupons
3. Find a good crockpot recipe for the pork shoulder in my fridge
4. READ!!!

I have forgotten one of the cardinal rules of writing - to be a good writer, you also have to be a reader. It's been ages since I picked up a good book. So I'm settling in with "Sojourn" by Jana Oliver, so I can read the second one before RavenCon and squee at her about it. And demand to know what happens in the 3rd. :p

I'll do a happiness post later.

I have forgotten one of the cardinal rules of writing - to be a good writer, you also have to be a reader.

This is one of my weaknesses in recent years, too. I was reading manga to compensate (shorter and easier to finish), and while that helped fuel my imagination, didn't give me as much education in terms of prose and novel structure. So this month, I'm putting a focus on novel-reading. Even after reading just a couple, I'm finding improvement on my writing and structure.

I'm hoping to find the result.
