I know, I know. I’ve been a real stranger at my own blog. Blame it on the surgery and trying to work while recovering from said surgery. If I’m going to write it ought to be on a book that is due February first and a proposal for a new space opera series. I’ve also got a graphic novel to write, but that has to wait a bit. Certainly until the artist has been hired. I want to work closely with the artist while I’m writing the book.
What have I been up to other than trying to rest and heal? Reading. A fair amount, and I’ve realized that the books that grab me always grab me because I love the characters more than the world or the situation. If I don’t care about the characters I don’t care how amazing the world or clever the plot. Though plot is why I prefer genre books to “literature”. Give me a good S.F. novel or mystery novel any day.
