I lost interest in reading

[proxybaba]

Since I started writing, I lost excitement in reading fiction, is it just me or do other authors feel it too?

 

[DonHon]

[RepresentingWrath]

It is just you two.

I like food. I liked it so much that I learned to make my own. That does not mean I'm no longer enjoying eating it.

And as some may say, books are food for the mind. So take away whatever you wish from this analogy.

 

[Beeteetee]

You've transfered from one hobby to another and a stressful one at that (since it's basically English homework eternal).

That takes up time, energy and ... tolerance for bullshit - usually stress lowers the tolerance, look at road rage as an example.

Most fiction writing tends to take time to build up to the plot line and that can come across as meandering bullshit if one doesn't appreciate the nuances.

 

[ShipTeaser]

Nah, still enjoy reading. I sure do have less time though...

 

[ACertainPassingUser]

Nah, you're just getting bored after reading too much lately.

After realizing how bad your writing is, and how hard it is to improve the quality, you will get bored with writing and no longer bored when reading.

or maybe you're just tired with seeing 26 black colored alphabet repeatedly with white background and even using dark mode or sepia didn't help,

You may start reading manga, watching film,

or just take another hobby like photography, perfume, bike, car, etc.

Or just any hobby that doesn't involve reading 1000 word of shit chapter from shit webnovel that have low chance of being finished with satisfying ending and bigger possibility of being abandoned less than 1-3 year while the author move on with life, leaving the reader in shambles of ruin.

my friend convinced me to buy a 8-book series (throne of glass by sarah j mass, for those curious). that was a little after i started my SH account, and till this day I have not mread past the first book because im always getting the most random inspirations every time i try to read it that distracts me

When I work on my NSFW stuff, I feel like it exorcise my horniness away.

It wouldn't surprise me if you don't read much after starting to write.

It probably doesn't make you feel the exact standards you yearned when you were reading in the first place.

someone is getting me

 

[georgelee5786]

I have not felt that

 

[Representing_Tromba]

I know the feeling. Write as you feel you need to but find alternative means of reading eventually. Audiobooks are great if you feel like you can listen to them. Also, take some time away from reading so that you can find a good book that can hook you. Ask around for recommendations, go to your local library, and just start skimming through books that look interesting. If one catches your eye and seems enjoyable, try it out. All it can take is something new to trigger the same emotions you had when you first started reading your favorite series as a kid.
