Hit the Switch
One of the primary struggles of writing is the work itself. I’ve detailed that struggle sufficiently elsewhere and won’t elaborate at the moment. You’re welcome.
Another struggle of the writing life is keeping your work in front of people and making sure they can find it.
In an attempt to do just that, I’m migrating my public writing over to Substack.

| Book 2 amps up the emotions and picks up the pace a bit. In a turn of events that would surprise no one, I'm more invested in the character development and relationships than I am in the mysteries, but those are holding their own nicely. ...more | |

| Really, really good. The mystery kept me guessing, but what I'm really here for is the character development. Clare and Russ feel solid, the perfect blend of flawed and likable. Didn't think we'd get to the development in the last few pages as quickl ...more | |

| The title caught my eye with its wink at the trope, but the book lost me in execution. I think I'm the wrong audience for these particular characters, whom I never warmed to. ...more | |

Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection

| Really, really engaging. I love when novelists bring their storytelling powers into nonfiction. As Green acknowledges in his author's note, sometimes having a megaphone means you can be really loud and drown out the people who everyone should actuall ...more | |

“In this sense, Rachel envied fictional characters. For them, everything would eventually make sense. If she were fictional, all the random, ridiculous events of her life would mold into a recognizable shape, building toward something. She would recognize signs, portents, and foreshadowing. In real life, however, no such clues were forthcoming.”

I'll be interested for your input on the post I've written for the blog. It's going up tomorrow and focuses on the money side of how you can afford to read a lot.
Sooo.... I found a benefit to being homebound with illness for ALL of 2015. (drumroll) My goal is to read 365 books, and hit 100,000 pages! lol... I discovered in August that I was about 5 books behind the numerical day of the year, so I've been working toward that goal. This month, I realized I was at 79,000 pages, so that's my secondary goal. Having a blast! Of course, I would be fine with a miraculous recovery, too... but while I'm down, I might as well stretch my horizons, right?!
