Reading is the creative center of a writer’s life. I take a book with me everywhere I go, and find there are all sorts of opportunities to dip in. The trick is to teach yourself to read in small sips as well as in long swallows.

I am terrible at this! I always tote a book when I know I’ll be waiting but it’s so hard for me to sink into it if part of me is waiting to be interrupted. I end up just setting it aside and people-watching or daydreaming. I wish I could learn to read in small sips…
I absolutely adore reading… I read everywhere! I read during my breaks and slow times at work (thank God for blogs and the sites that have classic literature online for FREE!), I read before bed, when I wake up, even *blushing* on the toilet. LOL
Some books I can sip, but the BEST books can’t be sipped, they must be GUZZLED! 🙂
