I'm n...I voted for 'Finish it anyway.' I'm not saying that I NEVER set one down and abandon it, but I'm sort of obsessed with reading something that I hate and then reworking it in my head the way I'd handle it. I think it teaches me and shapes my own writing.Artemis Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10849091563671031929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487444177236422658.post-77610755205426792002010-09-29T06:50:38.452-07:002010-09-29T06:50:38.452-07:00Wow!

I thought more people would have done that.BK Mattinglyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13758638245846622284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487444177236422658.post-62489984078459049442010-09-28T17:07:00.926-07:002010-09-28T17:07:00.926-07:00I should have voted.

I said stop reading- life ...I know I voted in that! I said stop reading- life is too short - I just wanted to amend to say - this book I am reading right now is VERY hard to finish - story is fine (yes only fine - no super fun or crazy or jolting OMG moments - very predictable, and familiar as in, to an extent - been done, etc.) but writing is not so pleasant. I could seriously be the only one to think that, I'll be sure to read reviews on it when I am done to see if they match up to my opinion. ANYWAY, point is - I am still reading (forcefully) just so I can get on to my next pic! Who woulda thunk it???! ha ha ...<br />of course I'm not done yet, maybe it will be one of those knock me over with a feather moments in the end?? I can hope right?Andihttp://www.andistenger.comnoreply@blogger.com
