So While I Was Trying To Organize

I decided to create a listing of books from my favorite authors so I could hang it and let it stare at me and guilt me into reading faster. I decided to start with Anne Rice. From her website, I saw that she has ANOTHER vampire book out, Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis. Now I am excited about this one, but to be honest, I haven't read any Anne Rice in years, so I need to catch up. So maybe come November, I may pre order this and add to my TBR pile...

Another author I really enjoy and haven't read enough of is Octavia Butler. She is SCI-FI and this genre is just one of many that I don't read enough of either. They are not releasing any new work from her, but instead there will be a graphic novel version of her book, Kindred. 

Of course there are sooo many books coming, and unfortunately immortality is still only a fictional idea, but, gotta read 'em all!

Over the weekend. I did become a vegetable and just lay in bed. Between watching t.v., browsing the internet, and playing games on my tablet, not much reading got done. Towards evening time though, some NaNoWriMo energy passed through me. I found some writing prompts on pintrest. I found 9 possibilities and one idea of my own. I have narrowed down my options to 2. This year I want a bit of structure to my novel. I know the idea is to write the first thing that comes to mind and just keep writing, and I did that, but I think an outline won't hurt this year. It's not like what I wrote will ever get published, I just want to do a better job.

To those of you stuck about what to read next, just think, have you read all the books in the series you started (last year?) or have you actually read all of your favorite authors books yet? Might be a good place to start.

And don't forget NaNoWriMo. I think once November hits they will have an actual page for NaNoWriMo, anyway, Camp NaNoWriMo is a great way to knock out a novel now, and then in November, write another one!

NaNoWriMo wants to you to write 50,000 words (of course you could do more!) That means 1,667 words a day!
