I'm reading again. This time it's for fun. Well sort of of. I want to finish my novel, both of them: Kicks and Drunken Superhero. I started writing one of them recently and I just find it hard to get from point a to b. Should I describe every step, every breath, every look my characters make? When I run out of things to at about a scene, is it okay to just say, "and that's all I have to say about that?"
So I started reading again. Really I haven't read a book in years. My last book I finished was over 6 years ago, American Psycho. Then I saw the movie. I think I had one of those moments when people say, "The book was better," but I'm not sure because the book didn't make any sense.
My goal is to learn better writing techniques as I read. I'm forever cursed with looking at everything as a design. As I'm reading I'm reflecting on the writers approach on descriptions and thoughts and as a whole what the meaning is (not just in the plot but in the art as well).
I just hope I make time to read more. I know I have a lot of time at work because I've been doing nothing but stand around waiting for customer to come in and complain. Instead of playing games on my phone, I hope kindle will help me during these times calculated self worth. Is it okay though that I'm reading a book that I've already seen the movie?
