Catching Up
I'm roaming around the blogosphere trying to catch up on everybody's news. The first thing I see is that there's a huge exodus from Blogspot to WordPress. What's up with that? No matter, I'll find you no matter where you go. LOL! I will update my links in the next few days, but if I miss yours, please let me know.
In addition to blog moving, Maili's got a new job. Wendy's hoping she enjoys her next batch of review books better than the one she just finished. Sylvia's wrestling with incorrect (to put it mildly) galleys.
Then there's Angie, nicknamed evil editor, who is evil not so much because of her editing (which is actually quite helpful), but because of this comment she left in my previous blog entry.
I'll tell you a not-so-secret. Once you enter the publishing industry, reading slumps happen because it's hard to switch your brain from "work" to "pleasure". And most people end up working more than reading for pleasure.
My response? She's right. Damn it.

As for what others are doing? From what I can tell, you're all reading. It must be nice. LOL!
As for me, I've got another story wanting to be written, so I'm writing it. And I'm working on an author newsletter, which will go out to subscribers May 1. You can sign up in the box at left. Subscribers will have access to exclusive excerpts, subscriber-only contests, and lots of other good stuff.
If I'm lucky, I'll get time to read this weekend. I'm starting Alison Kent's Deep Breath.

Actually, I'm not self-proclaimed at all. That tagline was gifted to me by Mandy Roth. I must protest that I'm not really evil at all. Hmph.
You'll find yourself learning to work it out. It's just a different kind of mindset, is all. But as you learn your craft, your enjoyment of books changes, because you notice the flaws even more than you did before, so you have to learn to read differently
Oops. I thought it was a self-proclaimed title because *cough* it is on your blog design. ;) I'll update that.
I have hopes of being on an upswing. I finished a great book yesterday: A Hunger Like No Other.
