Writing vs Reading

Hello again internet! It's been a while, and i thought i'd make a post telling you what i've been doing in the past month or so.

As much as i love reading, it's kind of taken a back seat this month. Not only is it the last month of lectures for my masters, i also went back to my first University town to see some of my friends, and most of all i've started writing a book...oh man is that taking up a lot of time!

I'm really excited about writing this book though, it's an idea i've had in my head for almost a year at this point and i figured that now is the perfect time to get it out of my head and down on paper. Or, you know, the screen...

This isn't the first book i've started to write though, i started writing one during my second year of my Bachelor's degree and as much as i loved writing that, it was a non-fiction book, and right now my heart isn't as into it as it should be. However, my heart is 100% into the fiction idea i have. 

Right now i'm in serious planning mode, and with the exceptions of uni reading, i haven't read anything for almost a month now. I am reading little bits of Something Like Autumn before i go to sleep (and it is so good!!) but hopefully soon i can tear away from the planning of the story and go back to reading for fun. My lectures finish this week so hopefully the time i spend reading for uni can be turned into reading for fun time. 

I kind of want to maybe start making blog post documenting the writing process? I've never really done anything like this before, everything i have ever written has been non-fiction and mainly philosophy based, so this is a whole new world to me, and i am equal parts scared and excited.
