🎧 Reading for pleasure
...is harder than it sounds.
Slow Writing is a newsletter and podcast that helps you create at your own pace. If these resources support you, please spread the word, and if you’re brand new to my corner, I’m really glad you found me. —Nicole
In the words of Anna Quindlen, “books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey. They are home.”
I can’t imagine a life without reading, but reading for pleasure can sometimes be harder than it sounds. Myriad responsibilities, relentless news cycles, and other factors can impact our desire and ability to read the way we’d like to.
Consider this episode a gentle refresh. If you have a habit of checking out too many library books at once (hand raised!), struggle to get through the stack on your nightstand, or feel like your reading life is in a rut, today’s episode has some ideas to get curious about what you need in this particular season.
A few highlights…
4 questions to ask yourself when evaluating your reading habits
Understanding your relationship with the library
Balancing research and pleasure reading
Discover your book tracking style (with both app and analog options)
How to start a commonplace journal
