I don't know what I've done to inspire myself, but I've cleaned out the Port in the 2nd account, written 2 reviews (have 3 more to write), and am rockin' and reelin' on the NaNo Project. Just can't seem to stop writing! 1670 NaNo word count so far, and it's only 12:15 PM
 

It took me 5 evenings to read this 1072-page book; I, who often read 2-3 books a day . I'd waited 8 months to read this book, since I first read notice of its publication. I'm not sorry I read it, but for those who do not enjoy graphically gory descriptions, beware. Also for those who are emotionally empathetic, beware as well. I read the final 85 pages bawling my eyes out, I who seldom shed a tear at the death of a beloved character. Yesterday afternoon I simply could not help myself; it was overkill for my tear ducts.

I found elements of The Stand, Regulators, Desperation, and even The Cell and Tommyknockers, all books by Mr. King. Under the Dome falls into the category of those novels; NOT into the category I call Stephen King's Literary Fiction: Bag of Bones, Lisey's Story, Duma Key, and possibly Dreamcatcher.
