thinking abt reading as part of the writing process
#𓆟#chvm bvcket#this is not like new or novel information#just like#reflecting on the last 6 months that i’ve spent working on ho(tm)#->#for the last few years reading has just been hard for me#and i think a lot of that had to do with school#i was just‚ not really engaged with the texts i had to read for class#(sloughing through art historical theory is very much not the same as reading for enjoyment)#but i’ve started reading again (thanks to fic)#and from fic i moved back to books (i dont view them ad intrinsically different. though taking the step into a setting#and cast im unfamiliar with is a part of the reading experience reading fic does not grant me)#but im reading#while also being in thr middle of a large writing project#and its so fascinating to me how quickly and concretely the words i immerse myself in while reading#affects the way i weave my sentences while writing#tl;dr a lot of the time when im having trouble writing the answer is to sit down and read#it swirls the words in my brain up like silt in water#lets me find new solutions
