Know I'll face chastising as a writer, currently not reading a thing. Well that is only partially true. I am reading some mentoring type of articles. Not keen to count those. I'm reading writing advice. To me that does not seem to be reading to read.
Not been seeing much I desire reading, to read. That is fully true. Part of that is probably my own fault though. I'm kind of holed up and do not visit our local public library often enough. Got our own small home library, most of it in storage away from us.
Also keeping away from other influences for the sake of working on my own story. Bad enough I'm using the "cheat" of the Hemingway editor on-line. Following "papa's" advice though, "try to write the truest sentence you can". This means I use my voice and not Hemingway's. My writing is mine, not his. The editing algorithm only helps in making sure readability is good, sixth grade level or below.
Yes, I am on a mission.
*cues up original Mission Impossible theme music* Do not tell the white coats I need candy. I can see the "little man that was not there" quite well enough without their candy.
