rimturseOrdered some on Amazon. They have all been shipped. I can't wait!
If anyone should be remotely interested here's what I bought:
Preludes and Nocturnes (Sandman, Book 1) by Neil Gaiman, et al
The Doll's House (Sandman, Book 2) by Neil Gaiman, et al
Life of Pi by Yann Martel
Thinking In Pictures : and Other Reports from My Life with Autism by Temple Grandin
Creating Characters: How to Build Story People by Dwight V. Swain
Techniques of the Selling Writer by Dwight V. Swain
So I have two books on writing, two comic books, one fiction novel and one non fiction book. That should be enough to keep me happy for a while.
Hopefully the ordered books will lend some strength go my writing. Sometimes I feel that the whole manuscript is one mess. I need to tighten it. Put the scenes in the right order. Work on my main weaknesses: character, chunky paragraphs of setting, lack of setting.
Felix has become addicted to chasing the laser light from the remote control. We're giving him a "cold turkey". Seems to be working. Fisen, who will be thirteen years old this summer, jumped over one meter onto a top shelf. Looked rather effortless too. It was a lot less effortless getting him down from there, though.
(ha - talk about bad writing: "a lot less effortless")
