I found that my readings are a great inspiration source for my writings. Last week I have been sick for many days. I hadn’t the head to read. The only think I did was watching TV. Then I got lag in my works and hadn’t much time to read books of blog feeds. It’s why I lacked to write on my blog; it’s why it will be this for another couple of days.

But I found something in this process. My readings are really important in my writing process. It’s where I seem to get a great part of my inspiration. I wanted to write something yesterday but I wasn’t able to focus on anything. I wandered why and I found that I practically always wrote things that come up in my mind when I was reading. It was a revelation and a thing to have in mind: I need to read to write.

I’m a somewhat big reader. I read a book a week, sometimes 2 when I have a reading rage. I read anything. When I read, I think about what I’m reading, but sometimes my eyes read but my mind is somewhere else, musing on something trigged by the reading, in relation or not with it. It’s for this exact reason why reading is at the center of my writings: because it has the power to trigger different ideas in my mind.
