So, I'm about a month and a half into my reading goal for the year. Read 50 books. Simple. I've digested five so far.
I read slowly, so it consumes a good chunk of my time - time that could be used for writing! There's my dilemma. I've been tossing it around in my head. I hear the voices kind of like the old Looney Tunes cartoons where the angel and devil appear on a character's shoulders.
