Hi all,
My, time passes so quickly I can't believe it's my turn to blog again. Where does the time go? But, I'll be glad to see old man winter ride off into the sunset. I want flip flops and beaches. Of course, there isn't a beach close to me, but I'll settle for warmer weather.
Just a heads up on what's going on in my corner of the world. The most important thing is I've been writing up a storm and reading every thing I can get my hands on. No matter how hectic life gets, stop and read a book.
I sometimes just need to recharge my batteries and a good page-turner does that for me. I love melting into a story as the real world fades away. I've been so busy reading Romantic Suspense that often I have to change the genre and pick up something completely new and exciting.
Recently I read a Young Adult and a Sci-fi. I usually don't go to those places, but I thought I needed something different and I was delightfully surprised. I loved both books and will again go to the far side of the reading spectrum and tip my toes into something completely different than what I normally read. I think it spruces up the brain and gets the creative juices going.
If you feel a little stale, take my advice and wonder over to something you'd never thought of reading before and see if you don't walk away with a new perspective on that genre. Also, don't be afraid to live a little dangerously and read that different 'kind' of book.
Happy Endings,
Geri Foster
Great blog Geri! That's why I enjoy our book club. It stretches you to read books you might normally choose. Opens up your reading arena.
ReplyDeleteI meant to say books you might not normally choose.
ReplyDeleteGreat perspective, Geri! I'm reading a book right now on a subject I never thought I would. It's for research for my next book , but still. I need to do more recreational reading! Good post!
ReplyDeleteToo often our reading time gets swallowed up by our writing time. I just finished reading a bunch of marketing books. Not as fun as romance but useful I suppose.
