I know I’m a little late, but I’m also the kind of person who usually needs a couple months before I stop writing the previous year on my checks.
For the past several years, I’ve been tracking the movies I watch and the books I read. I think it can go without saying that any media I consume is going to influence my writing, so, presented without comment, these are the movies (and I include DVD/blu-ray special feature documentaries, etc.) I watched in 2016.
