Kennedy did - squeeze in reading while doing mundane tasks (though I can't read and get dressed at the same time like he did!).Cate Mastershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01371792447604980848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-28046781761435368712011-12-11T15:47:44.632-05:002011-12-11T15:47:44.632-05:00I do the same thing, Jan.

But I agree, reading widely is a good education - period. Not just for a writer. The learning curve ends at the grave. <br /><br />Good luck with all your busy life stuff. You'll get it done.

I go to bed early because I'm up at 4.00 in the morning to write. During the day while cooking, cleaning and doing housework, I listen to talking books, which help me 'Read' more books. I know it's cheating but I like listening to how a good book sound read aloud as well as seeing how one looks on a printed page.Paula RChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05550276147711384895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-38655123922219690842011-12-08T01:56:23.839-05:002011-12-08T01:56:23.839-05:00I know how you feel - it seems that I have a never...I know how you feel - it seems that I have a never-stream of books to read, and little time in which to do so. I often pull books off my TBR pile for various reasons, but usually because they don't really fit the genre for my blog. I still tend to read them (eventually) but only when I want a break from 'review-reading'. I think I need to set myself time every day in which I read solidly, so I make sure I get some of the pile down!Jamie Gibbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168603412367448706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-27213181419452466982011-12-07T22:38:54.828-05:002011-12-07T22:38:54.828-05:00Hello, stranger!

I've been neglecting my blogging buddies for a while...<br />I, too, love to read; however, until recently, I was failing in this category even worse than with blogging. Now my routine is to read at work during breaks and then again just before bed.<br />Other than that, it's the 11 hr day job and as much networking as I can fit in thereafter. Soon I will need to start writing project #3... *sigh*<br /><br />-JimmyJames Garcia Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00559119178720751963noreply@blogger.com
