This month's topic required a bit of pondering on my part.
While I'd like to happily confess to reading only for pleasure, this is no longer true.
I read one or two books a week in genre fiction (not the genre of my current WIP) for pleasure. In years past the number of novels, I would read solely for pleasure numbered one or two each day.
Sigh.
Publishing has changed; authors have (sort of) adapted.
More and more of an author's day is spent on promotion via social media, developing book trailers, book covers, contests, and cross-promotion projects.
Egad!
Unfortunately, this leaves less and less time for writing ✍ and even less time for sleeping 😴
🕵Here's the pondering I mentioned at the start of this post: most of my reading falls into these categories:
• Research for my WIP.
• The craft of writing.
• Promotion, promotion, and more promotion.
All of my novels and novellas have recipes included; recipes that I have adapted from family recipes or are my personal favorites. Therefore, I have no one to blame but myself for this foray into kitchen time!! 🥣🥄🍲🍪
Happy Reading,
Connie
