Okay, I have two combined entries today. I'll start things off with the "Do you have a Dream" entry number 2. I'm still in the process of working on the background information, but I should be finished with it by later tonight. Then I will start on the chapter outlines! The story is coming along well so far, which I am pleased about. I'm thinking that the complete first book may have around 20-25 chapters, but we'll see about that when the time comes to it.
Now onto the next topic: Book rehab.
If there were a book rehab, someone would admit me.

Now onto the next topic: Book rehab.
If there were a book rehab, someone would admit me.
When I was younger, I
loved books, but as I grew older, I read them less and moved onto magazines,
such as People, Star and so on. In 2011, I decided to get back to my old self
and read again. Since then, I have book many books and some of which I haven’t finished
yet.
My process is somewhat
like this:
·
Go to a bookstore
with the intention of buying one book
·
Enter the
bookstore
·
There for over
one hour or more
·
Browsing
·
Sees an
interesting book, and hold onto it as I still walk around
·
Check the
language books for Japanese
·
Get ready for
check-out with five books in my arms
It’s a serious problem,
one that I definitely need to work on, but I'm not a book hoarder like Yomiko from R.O.D.

Does anyone else have a bad addiction
hard to break? It doesn’t have to be books, it can be anything.
Books, reading, writing, fan fiction, checking out stock photos and Pinterest. Yes I'm a multi-addict but like Amy Winehouse's song I aint going to Rehab. Enjoy your weekend Britt.
ReplyDeleteThere was a time I had an addiction to FanFiction. I still like it, but I noticed I have a hard time finding a good FF to read lately. Haha, funny you mention Amy Winehouse, I was going to post that song along with this entry. XD
DeleteHhaha! I'm like that once I enter a bookstore as well, especially if it is a bargain bookstore! However, aside from that, I've become a K-POP album addict. I went years without ever buying an album, then like ever since I bought and received my first one, I never looked back and have the urge to buy all my favorite releases even if they're more than a little bit unreasonable in price. XD
ReplyDeleteAwesome progress with writing your book! I'm glad it is coming along nicely for you.^^
XD Well at least it's something that you really like, haha. I'm also like that with anime/manga illustration books. Even thought I've only been to a anime convention twice, when I was in the dealers room, I kept returning to the illustration part. I'm hoping to at least start on the first chapter of my book by the end of this month! Thank you for commenting. :)
DeleteYes, I'm like you. I can't walk into a book store and buy one book, it's always an armful. Congrats on getting your book in top shape.
ReplyDeleteHaha, it's good to know that I'm not the only one. Thanks for commenting, Cathrina! :)
DeleteI love books. That's why I usually hit the library first, so I can return my finds. I'm really enjoying purchasing e-books nowadays, too, because I don't have to keep buying shelves to house all the reading material.
ReplyDeleteI would try to get into ebooks, I know it will lower the space from buying too many books. XD
DeleteI'm addicted to music, books, movies ... all of it. And my hubby would tell you I"m addicted to my iPhone cuz it's always in my hand.
ReplyDeleteI love music also, especially rock music. :3 Thanks for commenting, PK!
DeleteBooks! I'm definitely addicted to books. It's a good think for Kindle, or my house might look like that picture!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about buying a kindle myself to dwindle down on space, because I believe that I could become another Yomiko the way I buy books. XD
DeleteThat would be a scary amount of books!
ReplyDeleteWe have eight or nine bookshelves at our house and I can't even tell you how many books on my iPad. Is that hoarding?
It sure is!
DeleteHaha, no...I wouldn't say it's hoarding. You just have a love for books as we all do! However, I think it may be a problem when your house is covered in books and you can barely see the floor or your furniture...then I would say that is hoarding. XD
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI'm back again. Just letting you know that I nominated you for a Liebster Award: http://jenniferjchow.com/2013/10/11/liebster-award/
Thank you so much! ^^ I'll be sure to do this award sometime this week! :)
DeleteAt the moment, I'm addicted to checking out my new book's rankings. Not healthy, I tell you. :-/
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your WiP is coming along well!
Really? We should work on our addictions :/ Lol.
DeleteThank you!
