Behind again, I know...its so hard to find time to sit down at the computer when all I want to do in this weather is float in the pool and try to keep cool. Add in work and traveling and it is even hard to find time to read. But I am trying to keep up!
Last week I read "Julie and Julia" by Julie Powell. I saw the movie quite a while ago but wanted to read the book as well. It is the story of Julie Powell's project to cook all of the recipes in Mastering the Art of French Cooking in a year, and write a blog about it. I enjoyed reading about Julie's ups and downs throughout the year of completing her project. She showed so much dedication...and made me want to give writing another shot. It has always been lack of discipline that has distracted me from writing...the instant I blank on the plot line, I give it up. I'm trying hard not to do that this time...have the beginnings of something but am not sure where it will end up...we'll see!
I'm currently reading Under the Dome by Stephen King...at 1070-ish pages, it is taking me a while, but it has also sucked me in completely, as his books always do. Hope to review it in the next day or so!
