RadheI don’t know why you think I have to tell you the average time to read 100 pages, but it is always the same, and I’ve never seen anyone who reads faster. You just have to be open to different ways to read and see what works for you.
It’s true that we all read faster than we used to, but we’re not reading at the same speed. I mean, I like to read all the time, but I read more slowly than I used to. I don’t think it’s the slow speed that’s the problem, though. I think it’s just that I just naturally read faster because I want to. You can only write if you want to read.
You need to write to be able to read, so I think that’s a good thing. That means we’ve got to make sure we’re writing at the same rate as we read. If we’re not writing at the same rate as we read, then we’ll end up reading more quickly.
I think this is also part of why we read the way we do. When I write I want to read the way I read, otherwise I would be just writing down whatever came to my mind at that moment. When I read I want to read at the same speed I read, so I think thats a good thing.
This one is a little more complicated, but the reason it’s complicated is because I think of my writing process as a sort of timer. Like I write at a certain rate, but when I get home on the weekend I write at a different rate. So if I write 50 words a day, and have to get home on the weekend to write 50 more words that I wouldn’t write anyway, what I’m doing is slowing down my writing process.
I think most people who write and self-publish know what it is. Most of us just don’t like to think about it. When I read, I do two things: I think and I read. I think and I read because I write. I write because I write because I write because I write.
The reason I say this is because I have to get home to write. If I could just go home with the time I have left to write, I’d be writing about the things I want to write about, not about the things that I feel at that moment. It’s a vicious circle. I could work with that.
The thing is, I can’t really think about it, but I have this thought… “How is it that I don’t think about it?” The other day I heard a voice in my head say, “How can you write about the things that you feel at that moment?” I replied, “Because I mean, I’m so scared.
I have nothing going on here. This trailer is the most important thing that I’ve done ever. It is the story of a group of young people who are trying to free themselves from the clutches of a gangster. Their goal is to be able to read the stories of the gangsters and come away with some cool ideas about why they’re doing that. It’s a very good way to get people thinking and having fun.
