Currently Reading #1

Oh hello!

I've decided to try and revive this blog. As a college student, it's hard to find time for hobbies like blogging when you're swamped with work. I've managed to start creating blocks of time in my schedule to read a chapter of a book or two.

Right now, I'm currently reading:

Writing Down The Bones: Freeing the Writer Within by Natalie Goldberg
A Cheater's Guide to NaNoWriMo by Laura Roberts

Yes, one is basically a manual for cheating at NaNoWriMo. No, I didn't cheat this year. As you can see in the graph below, I did reach the word count on most days. I had gone to a sleepover one day and I didn't get to write which is why I don't have the "Updated for 30 Days" badge. I'm hoping that next year, I'll be able to get all the badges.

The other book is one of the more well known "writing manuals" that most people have read. It's been sitting on my shelf for a long time. Now that I've gotten more serious in improving my writing and finally going back to my roots, I wanted to start read it. I'm taking notes and doing the exercises for about ten minutes every other day or so. I'm still a busy college student after all.

That's it for today! Thanks for reading!
