August 2019 Reading Challenge: Self Reflection

August Reading Challenge: Self Reflection

My August reading challenge is about self-reflection since I've been feeling a bit lost as an author, my motivation and inspiration as arid and dusty as Central Oregon's high desert. It's a place where I've spent a lot of my summer, camping and being with family.

The High Desert of Central Oregon

Lake Billy Chinook

Culver, Oregon

I'm not complaining one bit, though, because it's a beautiful area. It lead me to see that even when the creative well may seem dry, there is still something beautiful to discover. So while I had many questions for myself--Why do I write? Who am I writing for? Should I give up? Do something different? Try again?--the high desert gave me my answer: look inside, restart, finish the book in a month, go all in, and treat myself with love and gelato!

Yes!

Here's the Self-Reflection line up:

1.) Book in a Month by Victoria Lynn Schmidt, Ph.D.

2.) All In by Shelley Shepard Gray

3.) Secrets of the I Ching by Joseph Murphy, D.D., D.R.S., PH.D. L.L.D.

4.) Restart by Gordon Korman

5.) Love & Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch
