currently reading: sharp objects

i am currently reading another gillian flynn novel: sharp objects. isn't it fun to finish a book by a "new-to-you" author and discover that they have written more? that's the best feeling for a reader when one book is done...and you are sitting there saying 'now what'? i am on a mini-vacation with my husband and his parents and i wanted to start reading something else...so my trusty kindle paperwhite and i found more gillian flynn! and i already love it. she writes so much darker than i do. i'm not saying i should become a darker writer, but it's so good to read something other than my style. it's like being a singer and only listening to your own album. not a good idea! 

while i'm on my mini vacay, i am also editing the first draft of falling stars in order to get my second draft turned in ASAP! it's fun to just go back and forth betweens sharp objects and falling stars  and train my brain on how a finished piece looks. i'm not technically published yet, so i know i have  a lot to learn...but even when/if i ever am published, i hope i never stop looking for others' ways of telling. i don't think i will because i love to read too much to give it up! 

so, if you've finished gone girl: pick up sharp objects!
