A very productive day

Today was very relaxed. I started out by just reading Inkspell for about an hour. I just can't put it down. Like other books in its genre (FANTASY!!!!!) I am completely hooked, but it doesn't always start out that way. There are times when I find it to be really hard to start a book, even if I picked it and it is in a genre that I enjoy. For some reason it doesn't grab my attention and reading it ends up being like trying to swallow a pill that is just too darn big; I have to do it but I just don't wanna. Usually the book ends up sinking its claws into me in later chapters, but there are those rare books that never really got a good hold on me (like Life of Pi, over all good book but a little bit of a boring read. At least in my opinion). After reading I re-edited the chapters that I had gone through at the end of last week, I managed to extend my book from the 94 pages that it had become last week to 96 pages today (two more pages, just from editing! Whoo hoo! New Editing Record!). This took me about three hours. The rest of the day was spent with more reading and the beginning of a story in the first person narrative (as a little experiment with the style).
