I’m reading a lot at the moment.
The general consensus is, that reading inspires writing. That’s not how it works for me though. It’s like my brain is either in reading or in writing mode and finds it hard to combine the two.
Because I don’t want to give up on reading or writing on here, I figured I might have to challenge my brain.
I will write about the books that I read and how they inspire me. Many of my posts are already based on books, but from now on it’s going to be more explicit. It won’t just be book reviews, but it will be about what I got out of a book. I will try to include as many of the books that I read as I can. Even if that means that some posts will be short.
I hope that this will create a habit that means I’ll be writing more.
The added benefit is that it provides a bit of focus on my writing. At the moment, my topics are pretty much all over the place and my group of readers is small (but loyal and much appreciated!).
Perhaps more regular posts and a bit more focus will help to increase my reader base.
That’s my plan. Now to start writing again.
It is difficult to go from the reading mode to the writing mode, I agree. I think this is a great idea, though, and I’m looking forward to your posts.

I am such a slow reader. But, being well read helps in writing for sure.

It does. And I found that listening to audio books works really well for fiction too. (Audio books for non-fiction don’t work for me, unfortunately.)
