I'm not sure when it got out of control, but it's been going on for at least a year now. Ugh!<br /><br />Too close to home is right! Some of the parallels are crazy!Tif Sweeneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06015299390676538748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450516531437589191.post-77953909029462390272017-04-03T14:20:18.207-06:002017-04-03T14:20:18.207-06:00Bryan G.

After years of being a serial book polygamist, I find that my brain can only handle one or two plots at a time these days. No more multiple book reading for me! <br /><br />I tried to re-read <i>The Handmaid's Tale</i> last year but found it hit way too close to home this time around. I want to get to it again though sometime in the next four years, along with a <i>1984</i>. It is good to be reminded of potential futures that are no longer so fictional.

This is the absolute most inspiring book about writing I've ever read--it was so freeing! :)<br /><br />"Eats, Shoots & Leaves" by Lynn Truss (okay, this one's for punctuation, but I love punctuation and it's funny and helpful).Deborah O'Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05969896655321575875noreply@blogger.com
