I went back to the library today, which is now becoming something of a weekly ritual. Last week I checked out 3 books and finished them in about 8 days, so today I upped myself and checked out 5! Carrying 5 library books makes you look supremely nerdy because they're hardcover and slippery from the plastic covering on them. You will look like an even bigger dork when you spill them onto the counter and ask the librarian, "Is there a limit?" which is exactly what I did. NERD ALERT!
I'm totally embracing it though because all this reading has been making me want to write more. I finished my short story and just uploaded it and sent it off to the short fiction contest. This is a publication that receives tons and tons of submissions so I'm not counting on winning anything. I'm just glad I'm throwing my work back out there again.
I continued with my book theme by cleaning out my book shelf. I pulled a bunch for the future yard sale I will make happen. I want to clear out all the clutter before we starting moving baby things in here. I took every single book down and dusted before reorganizing. It felt really good and now I have more space! More space for more books that I will eventually buy, but for now I'm pretty content with nerding it up at the library.
