Food for Thought, Really!

I haven’t had a good fiction book to read for a couple of weeks.  This is so odd for me because I love to read. You might be thinking, so what?  Well one of the truest things about writing is that in order to be creative and write you have to feed your brain.  I first read this in Stephen King’s On Writing.  Basically, one of the things I learned from reading that book is that in order to be a good writer you have to write a lot and read a lot.

I have found that to be so true.

Because I haven’t read any fiction, good, bad or otherwise for a while, I haven’t written much at all.  You really do have to feed your brain.  And the food for writing is reading.  It is as simple as that.

I finally bought a new book last night and look forward to feeding my brain.  I can almost guarantee the writing is going to go so much better once I am no longer so malnourished.

Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

Random Thoughts

There is no rhyme or reason to this post.  It is just a bunch of random stuff that I happen to be thinking about today.

First up I am super excited about the Sons of Anarchy premiere tonight!  Sons of Anarchy is yet another awesome show that my husband got me hooked on.  If you haven’t watched it yet, it has a wonderful, gritty, crazy storyline that just sort of sucks you in and won’t let you look away.  I highly recommend it, but be warned it is definitely for mature audiences.

Second, I totally missed Dragon Con this year which is a total bummer.  To make up for it I watched all the episodes of The Guild marathon style thanks to Netflix and X-Box.  I have to say that is one really funny show!  Especially if you have ever played an RPG, be it online or Dungeons and Dragons.  I’ve never gotten into the online games (yet) but used to play a fair bit of D&D.   So I feel like I still met my geekiness quota for the weekend.

Thanks for reading…
