Reading List

Just so I don't forget, I'm going to whip up a quick list of the things I've been reading this summer.

The Stone of Farewell - Good, can't find the next one :/

Hunger Games series- First one was good, the second two moved from "bad" to "wow, you're really pissing me off Author Person"

Clan of the Cave Bear- Good

Valley of the Horses- Good until Ayla and Jondalar met. They things proceeded into comically bad.

Factotum- An appropriate end for the characters, but not a very satisfying one. These are characters I will miss a lot now that the series is done.

Still reading:

The Mammoth Hunters - barely started

Well of Darkness- I picked it up expecting it to be terrible generic fantasy, but it's surprisingly engaging. I am actually looking forward to seeing plot events unfold.

Wow!

For some reason I am dumb and didn't realize that today was July first. This marks the first run of Camp Nanowrimo! I didn't realize until a few minutes ago, so I don't have time to write much today. Luckily I had started the file for my phases on the Moth King project today, and had done a tiny bit of work on that before getting distracted and teaching myself to play the recorder. It'll do to get started, I think.

Current word count: 142/ 50,000

Phases written: 0


Not exactly an auspicious start. :I Luckily, July is a 31 day month, so even by writing as few words as I did today, I have ever so slightly LESS for my daily word requirements than I would in November.

Now, to see if I can bolster today's number slightly before I pass out from exhaustion.
