Gone Reading

I’m taking some time off.

I will be catching up on reading for the next few days.

As a writer, I have been neglecting reading for long stretches. It is not a luxury in this industry, it is a must.

If you can afford to, read more.

I was surprised and not surprised to hear that Warren Buffet spends around eight hours a day reading — and he’s not even really a writer.

Writers, inventors, and artists must read.

Time spent away from the drawing board reading, in my mind, is as valuable as the creative work itself.

Nourish the mind; flex your creative visualisation; get away from the screen; construct images in your head rather than passively taking them in from video.

You can read my articles on Red Lemon Club, have a read of my micro fiction stories in my Medium series, or you can do something better for your eyes, pick up a paper book and sit somewhere peaceful.

I’ll be with you soon.

If you have 10.33 seconds, I’d love to read your comment below.

What makes you come alive?
