I received RELENTLESS by Robin Parrish today at work, (my copy) and put another on order for the store. Then, I remembered that Alton Gansky has a new one out called FINDERS FEE so, I ordered that one too. Sheesh, I need to stop buying books and work on my own.

Join the club. I have days where I go "I need to write ... but I need to read this book. I need to write ... but I need to read that book too!"
It's a blissful frustration :)
I try to write until I can't stand to see my book, and then read.
:-D For some reason I usually am the same way, Eve, but this Summer it's been me *avoiding* the book I'm working on or something. Thankfully I wrote today, old school style with pen and paper, but it was good stuff.
Best way to write, ES! See my post today about writing at the beach....
