Me: Everything I've been reading lately is really meta--books about writers and books and genre conventions--and it's interfering with my writing process. I need to read stories that are just stories and not books about other books.
Me, ten seconds later: Rereads 84, Charing Cross Road and watches a Youtube series about Wishbone.
#in my defense i have none#i just stumbled on youtube videos about both#plus side after i finished 84ccr i immediately wanted to reread last year's inklings challenge story#and it turns out that story is better immediately after reading 84ccr#which i did not expect to happen at all#i was afraid it would pale by comparison and instead the original book elevated it (especially the beginning)#because it was very clear what i was going for#there's a rocky part in the latter part of first act or so but once it gets going i was still invested in the story so i guess it works#but anyway now that *that's* over i am on a strict youtube ban and probably reading ban too#unless it's stuff that will get me in a fantasy mindset#84 charing cross road#wishbone
