summer

If you've got kids, summer is brutal for a writer!
Maybe several weeks' forced break from writing is a good thing. Maybe I'll have fresh eyes in September. Or maybe I can get some reading done!
On my list:
Saturday, by Ian McEwan
The Outlander, by Gil Adamson
A Long Way Down, by Nick Hornby
The Birth House, by Ami McKay
Maybe I'll revisit some Trollope, too, as we're going to London on vacation. I do miss reading the classics. Would love to lie on my chaise reading novels and eating bon bons all day...

Have just finished Writer's Gym and was very impressed! I immediately sat down and wrote a long page of ideas from it to apply to the next rewrite of Poets'. Also, it's always entertaining to read what other writers have to say about the writing life, and the writing process.
