Technical Writer from the U.S.A.'s Deep South. Writes horsewords and reviews. New reviews posted every other Thursday! Writing Motto: "Go Big or Go Home!"
Today's stories were really interesting to me, for a wide variety of reasons, and most of them scored well. It was a good week for reading on the whole and I hope I get more like them.
I just got hired to be an insurance agent. I honestly have no idea how to feel about that. Thrilled, because I'll be making good money? Depressed, because I'll actually have to meet people for a living (excuse me while I shudder)? Worried, because I won't be working a constant schedule and have no idea what it'll do to my writing schedule? Happy, because I have a job again? Frustrated, because it's not a job in my preferred field?
I've mentioned it numerous times already, but for those of you who never actually read these things: my good friend Danger Beans, who acted as my pre-reader and brainstorming assistant for Twilight's Inferno, has begun work on a prequel to the story called Dismay. I am acting as adviser for him in much the way he helped me, and I'm enjoying the work so far. The great news?
This was a difficult week for reading, and it also holds the record for the most number of words read in a week for these reviews. Even stretching the reading period to encompass an extra two days, I was still reading around 24,000 words a day. While I don't mind doing a lot of reading, it does make it tricky to keep up with my schedule. With this in mind, I've decided that from now on if any reading set for a week exceeds 200,000 words then my reviews will come out on Tuesday instead of Monday
See what I could afford when I still had a job?
I think I'm going to start adding a note of just how much reading I do every week, in wordcount. Why? Because I do a lot and I want people to appreciate it, darn it! Especially considering the potential quality of some of those stories; I've had some real stinkers lately, and I almost feel guilty writing reviews for them.
That's right, I live! And before anyone goes and jumps me for being late, let me just give you a blast from the past via my very first set of reviews:
I've decided to begin writing a review blog, which I will manage once a week every Monday or Tuesday.
So hah! I'm not even a little late, suckers!
An accurate portrayal of my current excitement. Plus it's cute as hell. Love the Flutterbat. LOVE HER.
