Soon, so very soon, hundreds of wannabe writers will be plodding away at their dream novel - myself included - during the upcoming months of June, August, and September. Days spent in front of the computer screen (not like that's not reality for me already) and praying that, in the end, it will all make sense.

Review: "The Little Stranger" by Sarah Waters
Overview
In the small town, a local doctor, Dr. Faraday, happens to go out to old Hundreds Hall one day to treat the one and only servant there. Hundreds is the home of the once-noble and well off family the Ayres. However, since the war began, their luck seems to have run out - now it's only mother, daughter, son, and the one servant in the lonely setting.
The son, Roderick, had been in the war himself and now has a nasty limp and a scruffy temperament. The daughter Caroline is becoming an eccentric spinster, while the aging Mrs. Ayres has to move on from the luxurious past into the dismal future.
Dr. Faraday soon becomes a regular visitor to the decomposing hall and its sad occupants. However, something more threatening seems to be at work in the dark and silent rooms...

Circles Of Writing
I seem to have hit a rut with writing. The timing really couldn't be any more ironic, after I just posted about how writing can be fun and exciting! That much really hasn't changed. It's the fact that I've been struck down with a bad case of WRITER'S BLOCK that is annoying me.
