December reading goal.
Not pictured: Brandon Sanderson's The Way of Kings, on Audible.

I have a habit of reading longer books in the winter. Not sure why it shakes out that way, but I felt like, to end the year, I'd like to try to make it to 80 books read.

What #books are you reading in December?
Cormac McCarthy Blood Meridian John Williams Stoner James Baldwin The Fire Next Time Pierce Brown Red Rising. All book covers on a counter top.

I’ve finished editing through chapter 10. I probably wrote those words half a year ago so they feel foreign and new and at times, exciting.

Some of my favorite bits of writing might not make the final draft but I’m coming to terms with it. Kill your darlings and what not.

The Twlight Cap. ‘How much was too much? How far could I take it before it was too late? What if it already was too late, would it matter? Could I change what would be or was I destined to play my part? Predetermined and Absolute.

For the record, the story is told in 3rd person, with little "journal entries." I don't know how many I'll post or be able to post for that matter. For now, I can show just a little in the hopes that it's enough to catch you, the way the story caught me. #writing #writersky #booksky #writer

Playing with little interludes to lead into chapters to add flavor and background. How do feel about interludes in the books you read?

“When I woke, she was gone from my reach, short as it now was. I didn’t understand it then, but I do now. It wasn’t my fault, but that changed nothing. I missed the heat, and the vibrations of her footsteps. Did she miss my light?”
