icon not related to this post, I just love it
I am really wanting to order some books right now, but I'm not sure if that would be a good idea. Money isn't really an issue, since the order only comes to about $33 for three books and I have a lot saved up, but I'm trying to keep my buying urges down. If I don't, I'll definitely turn into a shopaholic.
The books (in case anyone's interested) are: The Little Prince, since I've heard so much praise for it but have never read it myself; Japan Through the Looking Glass, to help me better understand the culture of that country, both for fanfics and other projects that would make a book like this come in handy; and the Penguin Dictionary of Symbols, easily the nerdiest of my wanted purchases, and the heftiest, since this book has over a thousand pages. I love analyzing symbols in media, and I think this could also help me from not creating Pop Symbolism in my own stories.
Chances are I'll cave by the end of today, but I'm going to try not to!
I also downloaded a program called OmmWriter today. I'd seen a friend on Tumblr talking about it awhile back and decided to check it out. The website will give any information you need on the program, and the best thing is it's cheap! I'm using the free version right now, but the update only requires a payment of $4.11 and anything higher than that would be given by the customer just wanting to show their support. So far I can't get over how adorable this is, the ambient sounds are great. I'm really hoping this will help stop my bad procrastination habits when it comes to writing.
