I am going to try to write more frequently, and read more frequently. I'm a few chapters into Chuck Palahniuk's "Rant," which so far has proved just as maniacal, morbid and wonderful as his other books.
Another thing that has definitely sparked my inner drive to write and read was the recent rain. It so reminded me of my years here in the PNW before- my days of living with my uncle, reading so many books I can't even remember half of them, writing the novel... the rain was perfect for that lifestyle. When we drove out to see St. John's Bridge yesterday, we took a bunch of pictures in the clean sunlight, then went to grab a burger. As we looked out the window, rain fell like crazy! Huge droplets, splatting onto the window and pushing up clumps of dirt in the flowerbeds. It was awesome. I felt like writing.
So I now pledge to write at least three times a week. Come back and check me more often- I promise, there will be more.
