August: In Review

[swhisted]

Really, I don't know how it's already September. If it weren't for my favorite season of the year beginning in September (which will included cooler weather), I'd be complaining about how fast August went by. But I'm so looking forward to fall approaching, I can't be mad

Aww, sorry you've been feeling depressed. :( At least out of all the books you read, only one was so-so! Duds are the worst. (I should know, since I experienced a couple this past month!) Glad to see that you thought The Raven Boys was one of the amazing ones. I really want to check that book out sometime, but Shiver was so disappointing to me, I'm holding off for now. I want to wait to buy any new Stiefvater books until I read The Scorpio Races, which is already in my TBR pile. If that book disappoints me, too, then I think I'll just stick to her faerie series.

I'm really, really sorry to hear that you've been doubting your writing. I can relate a little, since I've been pretty cynical about my art lately. (More-so than normal.) Even though you don't think 2K is much, I personally find it impressive, especially since you've felt so down--writing anything at all is always amazing when that's the case! Regardless, I'll keep my fingers crossed that those 5K+ months return for you, since more productivity is always a good thing!

As much as I liked Shiver, The Scorpio Races and The Raven Boys are in a whole different league of story telling. I think you'd like them both honestly, but I understand your hesitation. Whenever you do give The Scorpio Races a shot, I'll definitely be curious what you think of it.

Something about summer just isn't good for positive creativity, I guess. Or there's something in the water, spreading doubt to all creative types. While I wish I had a better number to report, I'm not really mad at the 2K. Last summer, I wrote nothing so anything was better than that this year.

Cooler weather always makes for better writing. Things will look up, I promise you! xox

It wasn't very true for September, but I'm more hopeful it will be for October. :D
