New Year's Resolution Diary: February 2014: Reading Month

February: Reading Month

We decided to make February reading and writing month. I am currently in the midst of a writing class that my Mom gave me for Christmas, so I have a lot of reading and writing to do for that. Chris had a lot of reading to do for work. 

I write blogs every day for www.fiverr.com as well as resumes. I also have been reading the first book in the Dragon Lance series. I am enjoying the book, but I have never been a fast reader and have only been able to get through about a chapter or two in one night. 

I have also been working on my Suspense Romance Novel that I am writing which requires research, reading, and editing as well as writing. It is a very big project to write a novel, and the class I am taking is giving me the tools I need to be able to get it done. 

Chris promised me he would read what I have so far in my story while he is out of town this week! I'm excited to hear what he thinks about it so far. My classmates have been really enjoying the excerpts that I have been posting on the class forum so far. 

Over the course of reading month, I learned that story boarding is very important as well as the importance of research when it comes to character development and explanations of real places. I've always been the type of person that wants to just make everything up so the research aspect is difficult for me. 

Stay tuned to hear about March's theme: Spy Month!
