Like many of you, I am having problems concentrating on my writing endeavors during this Covid 19 crisis.

I don’t know that it’s anxiety. I don’t think so. Maybe it’s more like nervous energy. I just can’t seem to concentrate or focus.

One thing I have been able to do is read. I’ve pulled out my favorite books and started reading a lot.

What is it about these books that draw me to them? What skills is the author using that have not only grabbed my attention, but pulled me back into the story again and again?

I need to acquire these skills if I’m going to be successful at my craft.

Can’t write? Read!

Something to think about.
