Before I get to my writing goals, I thought I’d mention one of my others. Last year, I realized that I don’t read enough. Which is a shame. Because I love it, and because I have so many books that I want to get to, too many, possibly, to get through.
Toward the end of 2010, I picked up the pace quite a bit with the help of technology. Ebooks have been a big help in the process, enabling me to read while I’m waiting for the subway or in line at the bank. Audiobooks have also been a big help. I’ve listened to four Dresden Files novels just walking around the city, for the most part. I also started a Goodreads account to keep track of books I’m reading, books I’ve read, and books I want to read. I figured it would help prod me in the right direction and it has.
So this year I’m committing to reading (and finishing) 36 books. That might not seem like a lot to some people. might seem like more than a lot to others. But at roughly 3 a month I’m thinking I can do that. If I can read more, great. But that’s my goal.
I’ll post updates here from time to time, but feel free to friend me on Goodreads for more regular updates.
Wish me luck…
