I've been spending a lot of time reading and trying my hand at writing reviews when I can. I entered a contest over at SavvyAuthors.com and hopefully I will get some additional feedback on that particular review. Until then I'll just keep doing my review "rough drafts" and saving them until I have time to edit.
In writing news I've been in a bit of a slump. I'm currently taking several workshops to help me with this and they don't really seem to be helping. It could just be I need to get over the winter blues. In any event, I've been using Scrivener since it seems to help with the organization of the story. Right now I'm using the Windows beta but I'll purchase a full copy when it becomes available.
In gaming news, well, I haven't really been playing much. Too busy reading and setting myself up for my Goodreads challenges. Fifty-one participants, including myself, have signed up for a quarterly reading challenge. It doesn't start until April 1st, my birthday, so for now I've been giving and receiving recommended books. This process is a bit time consuming but I've found some great books to add to my to-be-read list.
In real life, I decided not to attend this year's Missouri Writer's Guild Conference. I wasn't excited about the seminars and workshops like I was last year but I think it's because none of them are what I need right now. I'm not really a blogger or promoter because I don't have a book out yet. I do Twitter but again I don't have much to say except what I'm reading and when I'm writing. Maybe when I start posting my reviews I'll get the blogging part done but for now I think I'll just stick with the basics and go from there.
Well that's about all I have. I might come back in the next week or so with my review so until then...
