Yeow! Eight book reviews in one day!
Monday, October 13, 2003I shouldn't post this, as I know at least one of the nice people who let me review for them (HI!) reads this occasionally.... But, as you know, I got a three week set back in the beginning of September, where I read like mad to escape life, but, well, didn't really write reviews. (I hand wrote some at the hospital...which was really effective for The Third Alternative magazine, because I'd read, review, read, review...but for longer books just seemed like extra work. So once things were back to normal I'd review books as per usual, one or two every few days, so I never caught up. Because, you see, I kept reading. I tend to read at least two hours a night. Three if I don't watch TV. So today, after some yard work, I sat down, and I wrote my heart out. I skipped eidting, I skipped my own book, and write a review, walked around, wrote a review, got some tea...and so, eight hours later, I now have eight first drafts. Now, how much work the second draft needs is all a story for another day. But I feel good. I feel like I could do more, actually. I prayed for this, because the growing pile next to my chair was really getting me down. The hardest review was for Quicksilver. The easiest was for Wolves in the Walls. The one I thought sounded half intelligent was Le Morte D'Avalon. Since I got caught up and I'm still reading The Iron Grail, maybe, tomorrow, after I've double edited and wrote four thousand words to catch up, maybe I'll review Endless Nights. Technically, since it was a prezzie I don't have to review it, but I think I will. And now I shall finish with my posting for the sake of posting post. Good night. :) I have some readin' to do.
