Rambling Reader: I'm not dead!
I have not read a full book since August 25. I didn't read anything in September. I can't remember the last time I went more than a month without finishing a book. Or reading. Heck, even when I had laser eye surgery I still got 4 books into the month!I have been 100 pages into The Book Thief since August. Not because I am not enjoying it but because I can't focus on reading anything these days. Nothing. I can get 3 pages into a book and then start feeling very anxious and antsy and I need to be doing something else. I just can't relax, sit still and read for any length of time these days.I hope to be back on the reading wagon soon, but until I can get this weird restlessness under control I don't know when that will be.I'm not doing nothing though! I'm continuing my Publishing Certificate program and am taking Sales & Marketing for Book Publishers this semester. It's pretty interesting and fun so far. I totally geeked out when I learned about the 4 parts of an ISBN. I knew there were publisher indicators but I didn't know about the other 3 indicators! Woot! I'm also continuing to train myself to jog (though I haven't been out there in a couple of weeks) and am doing a bunch of other fitness classes that are making me feel so much better both physically and mentally. On top of that there's my full-time job which is actually a lot more insane than normal due to a whole bunch of factors (none of them positive) and I just don't have time or head space for much else. Including blogging.I felt sort of odd not having updated this blog in over a month so I thought I'd just put this up here for now to feel a little better. Also - Halloween theme! Because, you know, it's OCTOBER and my favourite month.Hope you're doing ok, Internet. I miss you.
