Whew! I am so glad that I doubled my reading list from last year. Looking forward to new reads this year. Currently, I am in between these paperbacks:
  • A Short Guide to Writing About Art by Sylvan Barnet
  • Songs of Love and Death ed by George R. R. Martin and Gardner Dozois
  • Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Stories to stay awake by Random House
  • The Rosetta Key by William Dietrich
  • The Sandman Papers ed. by Joe Sanders
Now if you ask me how I can find the time between work, travel, household chores and writing my stories...well it's in those hours while traveling to and from work, those few minutes before bedtime and those precious seconds while waiting for the just about anything. God gave me the thirst for knowledge and stories so I am like a sponge, ever absorbing and always eager to learn.

I hope to go on more workshops this year. There are times that I feel that my life is just beginning. Isn't that great?
