The Summer of It Read-a-long

I am really behind but I'm going to try and finish before the movie comes out in September!

I love online read-a-longs. Gives me goals and ways to discuss with others. This one is hosted by Michelle over at her blog Gather Together and Read from June 1-August 31st in time for the movie which airs in September.

Schedule:

• Start reading on June 1st
• In June, read Part 1: The Shadow Before, Derry: The First Interlude, and Part 2: June of 1958 - Pages 3 - 433
• Discussion on Friday, June 30th - no set time. Just stop by here, or at the Facebook group event any time that day (or later on, if you get behind)
• In July, read Derry: The Second Interlude, Part 3: Grownups, Derry: The Third Interlude, and Part 4: July of 1958 - Pages 435 - 878
• Discussion on Monday, July 31st - no set time. Just stop by here, or at the Facebook group event any time that day (or later on, if you get behind)
• In August, read Derry: The Fourth Interlude, Part 5: The Ritual of Chud, Derry: The Last Interlude, and Epilogue: Bill Denbrough Beats The Devil (II) - Pages 879 -1138 (end)
• Final discussion on Thursday, August 31st - no set time. Just stop by here, or at the Facebook group event any time that day (or later on, if you get behind)

So as you can see I am very far behind! I'll start today and get my ass in gear!

Sit Down and Write Writeathon

I've never been a big writer but I do enjoy when I do it. I'm not great but hey that's what practice is for. Michelle is hosting a writeathon starting today June 15-July 15 over at her blog Stories Inside.

My goal is to write about 750 words a day or 3 pages. I have no specific goal in what that writing will be but it'll either be book reviews, journal entries, or maybe even the start of a story. We shall see. The goal is just to write and see what happens.
