I don’t talk much about the fiction I read because:

A: A lot of what I read is the work of my friends, which means half of it isn’t published yet

B: If I DON’T enjoy something, I don’t like badmouthing other authors….but this week I’m going to make an exception to that rule.

I was in the mood for something really light and escapist and got it into my head that since I had never read anything by Roald Dahl (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda) that I should give something of his a try. I picked up The BFG (Big Friendly Giant).

I didn’t expect to “love” it, but I expected to be entertained. I was not.

All I could think while reading it was that the next time I need to pad my word count, I’m just going to add a lot of gibberish words.  ((sigh))

Thankfully, right now I’m reading a cozy mystery that I’m really enjoying, so it’s not like I DON’T enjoy reading fiction.  😉

What are YOU reading?

I’m JB Lynn, author of the Confessions of a Slightly Neurotic Hitwoman series. I haven’t blogged in quite some time, but for some reason I feel compelled to now. Maybe it’s because I’m starting work on a new series I’m really excited about and I want to give readers a sneak peek into how my writer brain works. Maybe it’s because I keep getting messages that I should be teaching. I don’t feel qualified to do that, but maybe someone can learn something from me sharing this journey. Or maybe it’s just because I want a record of what I’ve accomplished, because it’s pretty easy when you’re mired in the writing trenches to lose track of how far you’ve come. Whatever the reason, I’m going to share my process, my progress, and my predilections for coffee and craziness. I hope you enjoy the ride!
