Friday's Read & Write
So tired from yesterday's mondo weeding stint so this will be short. I'm still working through some books and mags that I already posted about because I've been writing more than reading.
My daughter also wants me to read Divergent by Veronica Roth so that is my new read for this week. I guess there is a movie based on the book coming out soon. It was one of many books used for examples in Kidlit so I expect it to be good. It is also Dystopian which is my favorite genre as of late.
Current favorite writing quotes:
Rick Riordan when asked via twitter, "How are you sure your ideas will come out good?"- "You accept that they won't on the first draft. That's okay. Revise, revise!
"Take out all the parts that suck and make the rest sound natural." - Laurie Halse Anderson
I love these quotes because they remind me that I don't have to be genius just tenacious! Writing well takes work.
Happy reading and writing!
