All I want to do is read. I’m currently going back and forth between four books that I’m reading.
This is very much unlike me. I STRUGGLE with reading books because of my AuDHD and aphantasia. But for some reason, I am doing alright with reading e-books. Because I am doing alright with e-books, I just want to take time away from writing to read. I know, I know writers have to write in order to get better. Yet they also need to read too.
I might be jumping the gun, but it’s so strange for me to feel this way. I am still getting through the four books, but I’m doing it in a way where the old me couldn’t. I still worry a bit that old habits will strike fast, yet I am still trying to be consistent.
I’m not on any writing deadlines or anything. I have all the time in the world. I just want to read as much as I can and see where it takes me.
I haven’t tried e-books because I was afraid of the same turn out as reading a physical copy of the book. But something is starting to click with e-books in a way that reading the physical book has not.
I want to jump for joy over this, just rather not get too excited yet until I am sure I can finish these books. I am retaining things a bit when I read, but I’m mostly analyzing the writing style.
So, writing is going to have to wait for a while until I am fully well read.
What do you think about this change?
). Your writing isn’t going anywhere, so if you have no deadlines, just relax and enjoy reading for as long as you can!
