Hi all!
As I have gotten back into this book, I have realized, yet again, how much I love it! Please give it a share on social media to help others find it! -GN Hi all!
I want to talk today about finding time to write AND read. I really mean finding. It is so very difficult to find time to make sure you are able to write. I have started to encounter this problem where, when I DO get a chance to read, it takes me ages to actually complete a book. I know that a lot of people talk about how they take forever to read and whatnot, but then I look at my book instagram pages that I follow and I am blown away by the number of books people make time to read at such speeds! I bring this all up because, since this Corona thing has hit the US, it seems like we have a lot of excess time on our hands. I have so much more time on my hands that I was actually able to finish a book last night! I am not totally sure why it is so impressive to me, but every time I finish reading something, I have a sense of fulfillment that I just love. So often, as authors, we can get lost in the struggle of writing so much so that we forget what it is like to be a reader. While the feelings of being a reader change once you begin writing, they are never totally lost. I personally believe that it is important to go back to these feelings and once again become the reader. When we lose this, our writing suffers. One thing that I also encourage, as strange as it sounds, read books in your genera. I know a lot of people do not like to do this, as they think they will take content from the other books and be too similar. While this is totally something you want to avoid, it is valuable to look at your area and see what works, what doesn't and what you like and don't like about the genera. Ultimately, reading is up to you, but my point is KEEP READING! Especially in these trying times! -GN |
