Reading & Writing

So I’m writing a novel. I’ve tried my hand at writing more than a few times in my life, but I’ve never managed to finish anything. I’m a slow writer, not to mention a procrastinator. I always inevitably find something else I’ve been meaning to do right when I’m about to get serious about a project.

This time is a little different. I don’t have any expectations for one. Well, unless you count actually planning to finish this novel. I haven’t put a time limit on myself though, which could be either a very good idea, or a very bad one. Only time will tell I suppose. I think I have an interesting story with some very intriguing characters who are well fleshed out and whom you can care for. We’ll see.

I recently – in the last 2-4 months – read The Millennium Saga for the first time. It’s a trilogy of books: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played With Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest. Great books. The movies based off the books however, kind of suck. Don’t judge the books on the movies.
