LOL! Plus, if my brain is relling from something else, it gives me something else to focus on so i can relax and then fall asleep. <br /><br />I only read 16 books last year...my goal for this year is 30...hoping my new Sony Reader Pocket will make that goal easier to attain!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17401931638397651614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12073039.post-82877767315046293992010-01-10T07:55:15.525-05:002010-01-10T07:55:15.525-05:00I can only read when I am editing my own MS.

I usually try to edit during the winter months so I can hibernate under a warm blanket, edit and read a few.Tonya Kappeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14252788425268305047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12073039.post-63434357164451229912010-01-08T12:57:11.903-05:002010-01-08T12:57:11.903-05:00I read while I'm writing but not in the genre ...I read while I'm writing but not in the genre I'm writing. Though technically, I usually just read when I'm in the edits stage of something.

It's all very influential for me too which is why I read so many historicals outside of my genre to not have the influence.Kwanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06428954660974395117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12073039.post-16904573592396147092010-01-08T11:27:51.706-05:002010-01-08T11:27:51.706-05:00I carry a book with me in my purse and my writing ...I carry a book with me in my purse and my writing bag. I read while waiting in line, sitting in a waiting room, wating in a sitting room...<br /><br />Then again, I also write while waiting ;-) Guess it depends on where my muse is at that time.Sissi M. https://www.blogger.com/profile/06012040565283848986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12073039.post-92188455060680971482010-01-08T10:50:07.903-05:002010-01-08T10:50:07.903-05:00I read while I write.

This WIP, I can't seem to want to read anything else. It's a trade off. I haven't read anything for pleasure in weeks, but my book feels like it's going to be awesome.B.E.

I'm going to try this year, to read more non-romance fiction.

I've been doing a lot of superficial thinking about my writing lately, which has allowed me to read more. And the book I just finished last night put me in the spot leading back to my WIP. I guess it all works out.Janna Leadbetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06339705935553160673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12073039.post-9389168071837208092010-01-08T09:35:49.405-05:002010-01-08T09:35:49.405-05:00I almost never read in the same genre when I'm...I almost never read in the same genre when I'm writing, but I always have a book going. Much as I'd love to curl up on a chair with a cup of coffee and a good book, I tend to read in small snatches of time--ten minutes here and ten minutes there.Leigh Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18195976627624064247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12073039.post-65276268682907759372010-01-08T08:31:16.345-05:002010-01-08T08:31:16.345-05:00Yes, sometimes...

I usually CAN'T read if I'm really in the zone with my wip, but if I'm plotting or just thinking bewteen chapters, I will pick up a book at night. <br />Sometimes if I'm writing my black moment, I'll pick up a sad book to get me in the mood, though. :)Jennifer Shirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16970585847385511795noreply@blogger.com
