I don't think I have enough books. There is still room on my shelves. I read a lot. Today, I finished a book that I started yesterday and read another one too. I am now starting my third book. It may be a big day of procrastination for me. Yep, I'm feeling quite lazy. OR I can call it research. Yes, I am searching out that magic formula for writing a good book. I am stumbling through dialog. I think I may be overthinking it. What would a typical conversation be like? Would character A really say it that way? What about character B? How do these authors keep me reading through pages and pages of dialog? I laugh and fret right along with the people in the books I read. How do I do this in my book? Ugh! All these thoughts run through my brain and my pages are filled with notes like, "add dialog here" and "look up subject of. . ." Who knew I would get into this so much? At this point, I have a scattering of scenarios none of which seem organized and make me chuckle as I am truly an obsessive person when it comes to organizing. I need to invite my writer friend to the house for brunch. I need book advice. Meanwhile, I'll keep on reading.

Reading
