Meander 1 - Reading - Back to Marian Zimmer Bradley's Darkover series. The way these books are put together is interesting. At present I'm reading ones from the early days when not long ago, I was reading the books set in the future. Doesn't matter about the order since all the books are complete. Yes, perhaps reading from the beginning to the end of the series would be great but reading helps keep me writing on a completely different type of story. I really enjoy doing both. One of my friends mentioned that I was well-read. I guess I am in a way but I don't read much non-fiction unless it's for research. I've been on reading binges before I began to write. I started with American authors and read a slew. Then British authors, French ones, Russian ones and sometimes others in the English translations. I once binged on Harlequin books and finally decided that there were some good ones but I couldn't write one. My mind doesn't travel in that direction. So now I read for escape.
Meander 2 - Thoughts - During the past week I've ben writing blurbs for my series. There are eight and four are done. This is an interesting exercise. Trying to cover a series giving just the gist of the feel of the series without mentioning the individual books has been an interesting exercise. I will do the rest this week. Though they are harder to do, I know I can. It's just a matter of finding that first sentence.
Meander 3 - Writing - I've begun the second draft of Haunted Dreams. This is when I make the story make sense and fill in the blanks I left and hint to the things learned later in the rough draft that need to be mentioned throughout the book.
