Writers as Readers

1.) When I read I need a quiet environment that is relaxing. I can't read if there is a lot going on around me or in a very social environment. I like dim lighting and soothing atmospheres, too much going on around me and I tend to focus on my environment and not my book.

2.) The types of writing that interests me is realistic, true stories. I find them very inspiring and either heartwarming or heart breaking and I enjoy reading both. On the other hand, sometimes I enjoy ready utopian societies and that are not so realistic. This can help me escape from the real work and have my mind focus on something else than what is going on in the real world.

3.) One of my best memories connected with reading is back in 6th grade when I was really invested into reading and did it a lot, more than just books I was required to read at school. Although, when I was in 6th grade we had book talks once a month and I believe this is what helped me get into reading so much. As I've grown older I don't read as much, or at all really, but I wish I did because I really enjoyed it back then.

4.)  I don't think I would ever write a book of my own, although, when I was younger I did write my own little short stories. I never seemed to finish them and I feel like this is why I could never write a book someday. I tend to lose interest in projects very fast, I'm not sure why but I just can't seem to hold my focus.
I am also just very personal so I tend to make my writing personal as well and I just don't think I would want the whole world reading my personal writings.
