I think I’m reading slower than I used to.
I don’t mean move-my-lips, put-my-finger-on-each-word slow. It’s just that my reading speed seems to have decreased over the last few years. Twenty years ago I could read a book a day. Now, not so much.
Of course, twenty years ago I didn’t have a cell phone, email, DVR, a DVD player and The World Wide Computer Interweb. I wasn’t working as hard as I do now and I wasn’t trying to write for a couple of hours a day (though I wish I had).
Twenty years ago I could drop everything to devour the new King or Straub novel. Now, if I’m lucky, I get to read for 10 minutes in bed before I zonk out.
I have to do something about that. I’ve added a lot to my TBR pile this week alone.
At least the writing has been going well lately. In fact this may be the most productive week I’ve had in a while.
I still have to get some pages done tonight before bed. Tomorrow is a work day from hell, so little, if any, writing will get done.
This weekend I have to finish the edits on the Dead Earth sequel and produce a synopsis for an anthology invite.
