Reading time vs Writing time

I read far more than I write. And I don't feel guilty at all.

I write much much much more than I read.

In fact I forced myself this weekend to go out and pick up two books just to make myself read something.

Glory Road by Heinlein

and

The gunslinger by King.

Stephen King recommends four hours a day of each. Which is obviously bonkers, unless you've got a maid, a nanny, a butler and a chaufeur. I get about an hours reading and when the kids are at school and just the little one to look after, about half hour writing when she's asleep.

Sorry Mr King, but that's living in the real world
