I have been reading a few books instead of posting to my blog. It is the only way I could de-clutter my brain. It always triggers new chapters for me too, even if I am reading a completely different genre to the one I am writing. One word or sentence will inspire.
As writers we are encouraged to read a variety of books, this helps expand our writing style. I went to a second hand book market last week (a wonderful place to visit in Cyprus LOL), and asked the lady to select 6 random books for me from her bargain bin.
My mission is to read them all, regardless of whether the cover appeals or the print too small. I want to see different styles, and hear different ways author's talk to their readers.
What did I get?

The funny thing is that unconsciously I have listed them by the colour, picture and type that appeals to me the most! I wonder if I will complete my mission or will the first four only get read? Perseverance, now there's a word. Application and commitment are two more but are they in my dictionary? :)
Tabs: application, Books, commitment, perseverence, readers, reading, research





Still keep moving the country and western to the bottom. Desiree if a novel idea comes from it, I will let you know! Well a title has come from it already!! Well what do you know, I am writing this and it popped into my head :)
Joan, I love that book...wanna swap? LOL. Yes you did well.
Devon I went to your blog, you are recommending reading westerns???!LOL
Momschoice,I think a change of reading matter is good, Your kidnapped is a bit different to your norm.
Yeeehah...no don't get excited I put it back at the bottom again.
