Otherwise, you're just a consumer. Pick something else to analyze if Dean Koontz is too soporific. Choose classics as a way to snap yourself out of the rut. Kitty, I keep trying to find a workshop but I'm not trying very hard. So far, I've found screenwriters who meet up close by but haven't gone. Workshops are another excellent way to get out of the consumer channel. Nothing like a little critique from fellow writers to "refresh" your writing (and by that I mean, have a cold bucket of water tossed onto your steaming hot purple prose).

I workshop with a few writers who never read. They don't write as well as the ones who do. I write much better if I’m reading something.

Your Law and Order has become my CSI (original, and New York flavors only, sorry, but Caruso's voice grates). I have tried to read from a 'clinical' standpoint. I believe it was a Dean R. Koontz novel. Couldn't tell you what it was, but I was amazed at how easily, how hypnotically, I was forced to turn page after page. Even when reading clinically, I still tend to get too wrapped up with the author's milieu to feel comfortable trusting my own inner voice. That's just me, though. And I must say I've failed your quiz. While it sounds terribly familiar, I can't place it. Too funny.
