Caught in the Glut?
There are too many books, movies, and games out. There. I said it.
I can’t keep up with it all. I’ve got a stack of books next to the bed, and piles of movies and games in front of the TV. Sure, there are worse problems in the world. But do you ever feel overwhelmed by it all? It’s blasphemy, I know.
My problem? If only I didn’t want to check out everything. There ya go, I admitted it. I’m an entertainment addict.
What about you?

Another Reason to Read Books on Writing

Sometimes when I read books on writing, it makes me anxious to jump into my story and crank out a scene. “Here I am reading about this stuff when I could be doing it!” Reading books about writing makes me amped to write.
Novelist’s Essential Guide to Crafting Scenes is pretty good if you’re looking for something scene-centric.
The book is a great refresher, and it’s nice to read something focused around the building blocks of stories.
Gasoline on the fire!
