    I know! Me too. I haven't read his older books in years.

    Just keep plugging away at it. You'll get back to the writing thing again.

    Experience life and get those juices flowing again. I have a writing group where we give each other exercises every week. Last exercise we had to take the words pencil, toes, and will and make it into either a 2000 word short story or a first chapter.

    There's also a great site called WEbooks.com. Its a great to have your writing critiqued and read what's popular.

    Thanks for the encouragement y'all, & thanks for the suggestions Drae. I was looking through some of my old stuff this morning & it makes me want to get busy with it again. It's been many years since I've had anything published, but it'll never happen again if I don't get to work.

    Umm Huh. You saw my post to Saty further up thread about reading this back when and decided you had to read it, didn't you? :smt110 Is it interesting & entertaining reading for you thus far?

    Actually I looked for your other suggestions but the library here had nothing by those authors. :( Weave World is one of Clive Barker's novels I hadn't read yet, so I decided to check it out. It is pretty interesting so far. I've always liked his writing style, too. Horror is my favorite type of fiction & I used to write quite a bit of it myself.

    What? The library had no H.P. Lovecraft? Brain Lumley I can see possibly not having but Lovecraft? Never mind. I forgot. Texas. That reading and stuff not that important to some folks unless it's about certain things. Especially in a podunk town. :p


    As I mentioned haven't read any Clive Barker in awhile. Liked most of his early short stories. Let me know what you think of Weave World when you are finished.

    Yep, these small town libraries seldom have anything I'm looking for. My mother told me that the local library was able to borrow some books she wanted to read from the Ft. Worth & Dallas public libraries a few years ago, so I may see if they will do that for me.

    Reading Weave World has me wanting to reread CB's books since it's been a while since I've read them. I want to reread some of my Stephen King favorites, too. I think if I get into reading the good stuff again, it'll help inspire me for my own writing.

    Yeah, I'll definitely let you know what I think when I'm done with it.

    Right now

    I'm currently reading The Gift by Lewis Hyde but I return frequently to one of my old favorites Burning in water, drowning in flame by Charles Bukowski and I recently read Fear and Loathing on the campaign trail again...I missed the insanity of Hunter S. Thompson. I hadn't revisited his books since he passed away.
