I keep wanting to read novels again, but I have a couple issues I'd like other authors ideas on.
First, I'm having a hard time finding the time to read with all the work I'm doing on my own novel. With planning and then writing it out, I find it hard to use my brain after. I feel like if I read before writing, I won't want to do my writing for the day.
My other problem is I worry since I write so actively, that other people's characters and situations will worm their way into my writing. I don't want my characters to change based on something that didn't happen in my story. I guess I'm just worried I'll have a hard time separating my reading from my writing. If that makes sense.
This is my first time uploading a story anywhere, so some input from more seasoned authors will be valuable.![Blob Paint :blob_paint: :blob_paint:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
