Misleading the Book Counter
Yes, it is November. I have a whole 179 words written so far and am already double thinking my novel. First person or third person? which would work the best?
Internal editor please go to sleep, shut up, take a vacation, something! Just leave me alone. Alone to write happily for the month.
In the meantime I have embarked on a new reading challenge: picture books. These are fun to read and don't get much attention here at GR. That seems strange since so many GR readers have children or grandchildren.
I have neither children nor grandchildren so I needed an excuse to browse through the picture book shelves at the library. (All right, I do have a few at home.)
What's a good excuse? I plan to write picture books. Every once in a while I do get ideas for picture books but I have no intention of abandoning my other books for them So much for that excuse.
Do I really need an excuse? Why does society make adults feel guilty if they read picture books? Some of these "simple" books are very thought provoking and informative.
No, I need no excuse. I only need to enjoy browsing through and admiring how an author can say so much in so few words. I can admire the art work which runs the gamut from modern to fine art.
I challenge some of the rest of you who have finished your "real" book challenge to explore the picture book shelves with me. You never know what hidden gems you will find.
