Just a quickie before I go to sleep…
No no… not that kind of quickie. The dirty things post was last night. [Though I wouldn’t say no to that kind of quickie… alas, John is asleep and I’m going to need new batteries…]
Totally fell off track there. Hey, it’s late. Or early. I’m back now.
I saw this tonight:
This is exactly what happens to me… with reading and with writing. I think even more with writing… I cannot let go. My characters all have a piece of me. I can’t say goodbye.
I wrote about this almost four months ago… when this blog was new and most of you had no idea I existed. But please click over and read it now.
I kind of liked that post. And it was among the earliest to get comments… all from The Lonely Author which I didn’t realize until I linked the post just now. [And if you’ve never been to his blog, go and read right now. Like, read the whole blog. I adore his writing. I bet you will, too.]
The image above and this post led me to revisit my earlier blogging days. And I realize I had a lot of posts in the beginning that I really loved. God, did I ‘waste‘ them when my audience was tiny? No… not wasted… but… I think you should go back and read them all… you know, in your spare time. [I would wink now, but I can’t physically do that.]
Must get back to my book now. xo♥
what sandra thinks 
When I start reading a book I immerse myself in it , to the exclusion of everything else outside of it , so I live in the book for a few hours or a few days , depending on it having 200 or 600 pages . And I read it fast , until the very last few pages when I realize it is ending and I don’t want it to , so I go very slowly there to make it last . But it has to come to an end . Still it will stay with me for awhile keeping me faithful to it for a few days 😉 and hangover 😉

Sometimes after I finish a book, I go back a few chapters and read again from there to the end… to make it last longer. I might even do that more than once… but eventually I have to move on… 🙂

And no post is “wasted” , they will be revisited and appreciated a long time after they’re published , just like books 😉

And it’s even worse if it’s a series! Then I never want to leave!
Hey, you should reblog/repost some of your older stuff. I’ve thought about doing that myself. Especially on a day where your muse has otherwise flown the coop! We’d love to read them!

Oh my God, yes, a series is even worse! That much deeper in, that much harder to let go and move on!
I love the reblog/repost idea. I’m going to have to go back to the start and remind myself what’s there. This little ‘hangover’ image brought me back to the one post I linked above… but maybe I have other little gems hiding back there. (And should I be mad at my phone for trying to autocorrect gems to germs??) 🙂

Oh don’t you hate that? I guess that’s a reflection of how much more often we use ‘germs’ rather than ‘gems’ in conversation. Sad!
