Reading or Writing???

Bloganuary writing prompt
What books do you want to read?

In all honesty, with the amount of writing I do on a daily basis, along with the studying of Gods word, applying it, and then sharing it with you in the Lobby, I simply can’t think beyond this right now! 

I rise anywhere from 4 to 6 am, usually, and I begin my day with study and prayer. From there I will write my personal daily message, followed by the daily prompt. I’ve been told that I talk a lot, and therefore, I also write a great deal! I make attempts at reading as many of my followers articles as possible, as well as, commenting and responding to anyone in the Lobby. 

What you may not know is that I write for several more hours each day, between my novel and several other literary projects I work on. My site numbers show that in the last year I’ve written enough words to fill approximately 4 to 5 novels, so that’s a lot of writing. In the past, I’ve read more books than I can even remember… but I wasn’t writing like I am currently.

I have the desire to read all the time, but not the time for all the reading, if that makes any sense. 

I know you might say, all work and no play makes Wiwohka a dull girl, but I already told you about my play, just the other day on a word prompt question, point in fact!

Will there be a time, in which I can feel the pleasure of diving into a delicious adventure, other than the ones I’m creating? I believe there will be… just not right now! 

You might not think this is true, but I worry about reading others works, while I am working on my own, for fear of encountering cross contamination, if you get my meaning. While other writers may not concern themselves in this regard, this writer is still developing her technique, so I’m not there yet!

Til next time,

Here, have a worm cookie…

  1. I can relate to what you mean about avoiding the work of others. If I get into a heavy writing mode or deep guitar practice, I find it hard to read/listen to the work of others. Not that I don’t respect it, but I am afraid it will derail my own efforts. In this, you are definitely not alone!
