COLLETTE READS

colette reading writing

what do you read? a lot of twitter. Short poetry, not more than four pages, digestible. FInd it very difficult to get into big dense book. skim surf part of the book. if a book is suggested, I get excited over the first chapters but will never finish it. same with my writing. trying to get faster at reading. long time to process information. drift a lot in my own topic. really sad not to read novels. sci fi novel what I use to enjoy most. wish I could read more of those. when? every second day. specific environment ; confortable chair, no distraciton, café would be a nice place to read. ideally no wifi or switch it off. notes? note taking not easy. highlighting too much. highlights when I get excited. hard to return to them. because its too much. keep a reading diary. notes on the text. agreeing or not agreeing. not intellecutal thought about it. spend a lot of money on books,but prefer pdfs. I buy books but nowhere to store them. Use a desk to lay out my writing material, as a visual plan. writes a lot I take what is relevant to me in the text. producting time to write is when i am listening to a lecture. will make me write about my work, can be totally unrelated to the lecture.

history reading habits ? dad and grandma were journalists. were really keen that i would be excited about reading and writing. would come up with games and activities to make reading enjoyable Would make me books to writes stories in and i did that a lot.

Really likes word play and puns. if a text has that it can really get my attention and i will enjoy spending time dissecting it.
