This year has been a big year for me... bigger than most. And now I've got my own car, it's even more fun to get out and go places.
But I've been busily reading and writing and enjoying being creative too. Over the year, I've read only 9 books:
'The Wastelands' by Stephen King
'The Naughty Book for Girls' by Candice Hill
'Pet's Letters to God'
'Nelson Mandela: The Authorised Book of Quotes' by Himself
'Unexpected Zodiac' by Sasha Fenton
'The Watcher' by Jo Robertson
'Her Christmas Earl' by Anna Campbell
'Body Rentals' by Mark Gardner
'The Legend of the Blue Bonnets' retold by Tomie DePaola
Yeah, they don't look much, but two of those books were pretty big and one of the big ones was an audio book. Two of the others were e-books and really good. I'm currently getting into two books right now - one traditional and one an e-book:
'The Turning' by Tim Winton (traditional)
'Breeders' by Ashley Quigley (e-book)
Then, there's my written work! Woah! I've been working on my 'Fry Nelson: Bounty Hunter' trilogy for 5 years now and just about 3 months ago, it came to an end... I finally finished the third book and it was fantastic! I collapsed into my bed, went straight to sleep and didn't have my brain telling me to edit anything - well not yet.
And then, there was my 'Angel Love' book. I wrote that one in record time of around 3 months and totally enjoyed the researching of it and the characters. They were so brilliantly different from each other and seem to just fall out of the woodwork that it felt like this book was one big jigsaw puzzle I tossed out onto the table and it almost put itself together... but it took time for me to work on it; and it worked out so well! I'm still going to wait until the New Year before I do anything about editing it.
And then? Well, there's my Flash Fiction I've had on my 'You Can't Go Back: And Other Impossibilities' Blog... yeah, I want to get them sorted out and into a traditional and an e-book. They are stories that are funny, interesting, weird, creepy and well, you wonder what the hell I was thinking when I wrote them too. And I want to get them published.
So, this really has been a busy year for me as a reader and a writer... very busy. How about you? Have you written much and read many books? Please do let us know. Until my next post, happy reading.
