D. Gray Warrior
Troubadour
So, I'm in a bit of a conundrum here. Like everyone else here, I enjoy writing fiction, especially speculative fiction. However, I must confess that I am not an avid reader of books. Idk what it is, I just struggle to finish anything I try to read.
I've been told that one cannot be a good writer without also having a voracious appetite for books. So, I find it a bit discouraging.
I think for me, I just have a hard time focusing with novels for an extended period of time. It's rare for a book to catch my interest long enough that I'm able to devour it from start to finish. I wouldn't say I hate nor dislike reading, but I am pretty picky about what I read.
I really don't know what to do. Is anyone else finding themself in this situation?
