Did I Digress?: Liz? Are you there?

Liz? Are you there?

No, I'm not.

I'm feeling done with the whole blog thing. And Facebook*. And Myspace**. Etc.

I'm only having small thoughts, now. Enough for a Twitter*** post or two.

And even that's a stretch...

*I've never really participated in this.

**Or this.

*** And I have very particular thoughts on what should be a Twitter post. Is it funny? Weird? Witty? Insightful? Strange? Then post about it.

Just Finished Reading

The Writing Group Critique and Survival Guide by Becky Levine: What I liked most about this book was that she had specific chapters on how to critique specific types of writing. Critiquing poetry is different than prose. Fiction is different than nonfiction. Romance is different than Sci-fi. Very helpful.
Okay for Now by Gary Schmidt: I cried while reading this book. I’m not ashamed to admit it. But, I’m sensing a theme with this author. So, while I love his writing, I don’t know if I’ll read another of his books if it deals with a young teenage boy with a lousy father who is inspired by a teacher/mentor.
On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King: On my quest to read every book written on writing, this one came highly recommended by almost every author I’ve read. And it was well worth the praise. Aside from the cussing, I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a great deal.
The Shinning by Stephen King: Having never read a “horror” book, I didn’t know what to expect. It was definitely disturbing and a little creepy, but I wouldn’t say that I was ever scared. I love the way Stephen describes things, though. Very naturally and seamless.
