Are you an addict? I’m an addict and a big one, a book
addict. It seems I have no self control when it comes to books. I pick one up
and start reading. I reach a certain point (usually the 2nd to 4th
chapter) when I can’t stop reading. The house could be burning down around my
ears and my eyes wouldn’t move from the page. It’s sad but simple fact.
I have
tried to restrain myself, but my efforts always end with failure. So what's my solution? I stopped reading, which then affected my writing. It's a proven fact
(I’ve tested the theory myself) that if you want to be better at the craft of
writing then you need to read every day. This made my so-called solution
no solution at all. Is there a real solution to the problem?
