I'm writing that book I've always said that I would write. Currently, my project is stepping back and doing some reading, because I've lost my perspective on "how to write." It's worse than "the block." It got started because I withheld all reading materials while working telling myself I didn't have time. Bad move on my part. Reading is as integral to writing as breathing oxygen. So now I will just have to make that time to read while I'm not actually at work.
Welcome back, witch. :)

I came to the very same conclusion about 3 months ago. I hadnt read an actual novel in years (almost 5), then decided since Bree was reading several novels in a row, that i would give R A Salvatore a go since he was the person who got me started in the first place. Bingo, 2 books later, I was so overwhelmed by the number of ideas i had banging around in my head, i started writing again, hardcore.

It has been all fantasy, I'm a bit horrored out after cranking out i think 5 or 6 in the past year (short stories, horror themed). Turns out Brieze is in another short, and is one of the central figures in a novel. So now i am stuck, i have a fantasy world coming together in my mind a couple of spreadhseets, and I cant stop thinking about them :)

So i am on book number 5 from Salvatore :)
