You're kicking your story's butt these days. It's coming along great! I hope this week goes just as well. It's starting off sort of so-so for me, so I hope that improves.<br /><br />You <i>have</i> been really lucky lately! Lots of good reads there, I'm sure. I made sure to put MY LIFE AFTER NOW on my TBR list. I'd heard of it before, but for some weird reason forgot to mark it as to-read. Thanks for reminding me about it! :)Jaime Morrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03023932422477544525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671037899293269779.post-42147993225412514242013-07-10T23:06:39.980-04:002013-07-10T23:06:39.980-04:00My cat also likes to pose with books, especially Y...My cat also likes to pose with books, especially YA!

Glad you're interested in My Life After Now--I hate to spam people but this was one I felt strongly about and haven't heard too much buzz for. Actually, I thought about your Book Propping post!<br /><br />I love my office--I'm really grateful for it since we came from a tiny one-bedroom in New York, where we spend all our waking hours on the couch because there was no place else to be. I know I won't always be able to have a space like that, especially once we have kids, so I'm enjoying it while we've got it!Mrs. Silversteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15081113623522933830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671037899293269779.post-51798933740300085132013-07-10T22:43:58.890-04:002013-07-10T22:43:58.890-04:00Yeah, I tend to have several amorphous text blobs ...Yeah, I tend to have several amorphous text blobs at the bottom of my document with notes and ideas.

I used to take pictures of my bookshelves all the time, and now I finally have some of my books on display again in significant quantities. <br /><br />Good luck with your writing goals for this week. At the best of times, I'm easily able to pack away weekly word counts with five figures, though I've slowed a bit (by my standards) since camp has started for the summer. I'm still hoping to be done with my WIP, my longest single-volume book to date, by the end of the year.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671037899293269779.post-92081346364195193382013-07-10T20:21:36.095-04:002013-07-10T20:21:36.095-04:00The books!

I usually find that sort of annoying, but the second I saw that you were the recommender and then read about MY LIFE AFTER NOW, I immediately added it to my To-Read list. It sounds like it's right up my alley. <br /><br />I'm slightly envious of your lovely office space. I'm lacking in that area, though my couch is comfy and I'm holding out hope that the next time we move, we'll find a house with a little office nook for me. Fingers crossed!<br /><br />Best of luck with your writing goals for the week. I love what you said about holding a book too close and losing focus -- that can happen so easily when we become immersed in our WiPs. I'm just about at the point where I need to take a step back and reassess my outline as well. <br /><br />Here's to lots of words in the coming days!

I can plan scenes, or have general idea of where the book is going, but an actual outline is more than I can manage.

You'...That's an awesome selection of books! You're lucky your cat is only rolling on them. My cats eat books. We have many covers that are missing corners.<br /><br />I really like your metaphor of reading a book so close it's out of focus. That's exactly what it feels like when the story gets away from you and needs to be reorganized in some way. I'm glad your outline is helping. I'm addicted to outlining, so I'm kind of the opposite. When I deviate from the outline that's the achievement for me. Best of luck ticking 5-8 bullets off your list this week! I'm sure you can do it!<br /><br />Also, love that funky chair!
