Experiment, week 3
You know, writing this blog has really been an interesting experience. It has shown me that self discipline is something I lack. That’s okay, generally reaching every goal means that the goals weren’t that hard to achieve anyways. However this blog has definitely gotten me into reading more. For a few years I’ve read only maybe 20-30 books a year, which is really miniscule amount. I used to read hundreds of books in my teens, 365 exact in my best year. Perhaps that time instilled the speed style of reading into me. That and my low tolerance for shared shame.
All in all I’m pretty happy with what I’ve accomplished so far. My ambitious side would like to see me writing more pillar content, the stuff of legends! I’m realist enough to know that that is going to need the spark of creativity from somewhere. I’ve never been too good at forcing myself.
As an aside. It never ceases to amaze me how little people read. Or rather how little the people who moan about lack of good speculative fiction have read. There are huge amounts of good SF books just waiting to be read. Not finding out about them isn’t really hard these days, with the net and all. Just browsing quickly through Jay Tomio’s Top100 books of the last 10 years has quite a few unread books for the most of us.
