Vacation reading and writing
Just back from vacation, mostly at an end-of-the-road kind of beach place. It was very helpful for my reading and writing. I was able to read three books and start a fourth:
Catch-22 by Joseph Heller
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson
Sophie's Choice by William Styron (started)
Not sure which ones I'll do reviews for, if any....
I was also able to write for many days in a row on my second novel, for a couple of hours at least each morning. And then any time I wanted throughout the day. It was glorious. I gained speed and rhythm only a few days in. The beach heat and freedom of time were exhilarating.
I'm missing it already only a few days back. Time now to take all the marked-up typed pages and yellow legal pages of handwritten work and key everything in.
