I’ve been reading quite a bit to get myself ready for the writing. I figure that’s a good place to start. I can copy get inspired.

First I read The Dissident. It’s a new novel about a student from China in LA. There was very little character development, but over all the story was decent. Then I read The Glass Castle. I honestly did not realize until I had finished this book that it was a memoir. While pulling up these links on Amazon, I realized I overpaid at Barnes and Noble and I’ll be ordering books online from now on! I’m also trying to decide if I should put any of mine for sale. I’ve got maybe 60 books that I’ve decided not to keep because of overflowing bookshelves.

Next I’m starting Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood. I also have the novel The Emperor’s Children to read before I start going through the writing/publishing books that I bought before NaNoWriMo starts (No Plot? No Problem! and Get Published!).
