And then there's today
So I'm reading this book called City of Bones in the Mortal Instrument's series. It's a silly teen supernatural piece of fiction. Only thing is it totally reminds me of this book I decided to write once upon a time.
And so it makes me want to write. But then I read the book and think of all the supernatural books out in the public.
What makes Twilight suddenly SO popular when vampire novels have been coming out for decades?
I have this theory that big success depends entirely on who you know and not on what you can do.
Little things in my life are beginning to change. I think that this is for the better. I feel spectacularly calm for things being so transitional right now. That is totally weird.
Also I have so many books I'm supposed to be reading right now. A couple weeks ago I took a fun trip downtown and I checked out Powells and the big Library. I wrote down quite a few different book titles, then went to the library and put most of them on hold. I now have upwards of seven books just sitting around and hardly being read. I was totally on a reading trip a while ago. And now I keep finding all these other things to distract me. (like posting a random blog.....). I know it's the library and I can easily get all the books out again but part of me feels completely ridiculous for checking books out just to take them back - you know?
But I haven't really been in a fanfic mood either. So maybe I just need a break from reading. I *have* been in the mood to write. But when I sit down to do it I get blocked or I think everything I write is just juvenile.
I totally have the creativity bug going. I just need to find the right outlet. *nod* yes.
Okay, just wanted to get these little thoughts out of my brain so I can focus on the book at hand.
