For those just joining us, I finished a manuscript at the end of April and have since been in what I like to call Limbo.
Limbo is where I get to consume all the fiction I possibly can.
Books. Movies. Video games. If it has a story, I’ll consume it.
That’s not to say I’m not reading books during other weeks of the year. This is just the week where I get to spoil myself rotten with it.
Reading and experiencing stories is so very important for writers. I know there are some out there who claim they are too busy writing to read, and I have to admit this makes me cringe. Because if you’re not reading then you have no idea what is being said out in society. Sure, you might get the highlights from the news, but there’s a deeper conversation happening in society and the only way you can access it is by reading.
This is why I have been focused on bouncing Book Reviews up here lately. It’s not just because I enjoyed a book, it’s because I’m joining that deeper conversation.
Even if that deeper conversation happens to be Romantasy novels with Vikings and Fae creatures running about.
As I head into this next week, Limbo is officially over and work is beginning for Nora and the Winter King. I’m still hopeful that this is the final full length novel for Nora’s storyline, and that I will be able to deliver both Siren Song and Winter King within a couple months of each other.
This is because Siren Song ends on a bit of a cliffhanger.
My first ever cliffhanger, guys. I’m not sure if I’m excited or worried.
Anyway, Limbo is closing out and I have some more reading to do.
Happy Writing, everyone.
