Writerly Mode

[prosodic]

Last night, I left the television off. I lit some candles, put some George Winston on the stereo (his "Autumn" CD, for the curious), and proceeded to spend over an hour writing. I had a sleepy puppy curled up next to me.

I didn't work on either of the two books that I have on the back burner. I didn't work on an article or a blog post for my other blog.

I just wrote up a review of Cassandra and Jane. But I took my time. I wrote very carefully and thoughtfully. And it was a longer review than I usually write. I felt accomplished when I went to bed.

It was nice.

Heavy winds and pouring rain woke me up periodically during the night. Thankfully, Reece slept. She got me up around 3:30 to go out, but came stepped back inside as soon as she saw what the weather was like. And that was the only time she got me up. Good thing, because when I do sleep, I sleep deeply...at least the past couple nights. I'm always disoriented when I get up.

Do you ever put these reviews on Good Reads? I was checking it out to see if it was there but figured not since you probably can't for copyright reasons ...these I imagine get published. I'd just like to read your reviews of books.

If you go to http://www.curledup.com and use their search tool to search my name, you should be able to find all my reviews that go back about 2 years or so.
