ramblings

I don't have anything profound to say but... I came home from work today to find my 2 course books and Mockingjay had arrived. If you have any connections with middle school you know that Mockingjay is the final book of The Hunger Games. Needless to say I will be going to bed late tonight.

I did think that I first should thumb through the texts. I am loving The Pocket Muse. There are no pages so I can't share in that manner. One of the 1st ones I found was about naming things. I see naming things to be a lot like making lists which I love.

I just love the style of the book. Snippets you can read in any order. I will read it front to back but I am really enjoying thumbing through it. Love the tip on style regarding avoiding using the verb to be. The book makes me want to start writing. I know this is the point but I am surprised at how powerful the urge (with the ending to The Hunger Games lurking this is quite a feat).

Realizing I am getting a bit to wordy so I will cut myself off. Off to go read in the bedroom where it is air conditioned :)
