I love delving into the stories of others, but I love delving into the world within myself more. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005062827798430682.post-11125479419622927312013-12-09T00:03:00.147-05:002013-12-09T00:03:00.147-05:00I've asked myself this question before, too! M...I've asked myself this question before, too! My conclusion: I *have* to write, even though it's hard and brain-draining and frustrating (because of the *magic* moments) but reading is easy and pleasurable and so because I'm basically a lazy person I often pick reading over writing some days (although I *don't* get to read or write every day with all the life stuff that gets in the way). The lazy side of me would choose reading if I absolutely had to, but I feel lost and cranky when I don't get to write for awhile. We're cursed, I tell you! :-)Kimberley Griffiths Littlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269829969442171522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005062827798430682.post-78172020563948549822013-12-08T19:28:41.502-05:002013-12-08T19:28:41.502-05:00i love stories- writing and reading them both.

I love that part where I get lost in the writing...and yet at other times I want nothing more than to be taken away by someone else's amazing story.
