I always read everything, especially now. Once you start writing yourself you find yourself appreciating everything the author has to say because you recognize the effort that went into it lol.

As a writer it’s important to be able to identify why I don’t like a piece of writing so I will often times spend almost as much time thinking about that as when I do like a piece of writing 😂. At the same time I am very specific when I write about things I do write so I think there is a balance

I think I read The Hellbound Heart in two days and I was pacing myself, it’s a short book really.
