Sorry this post is late, I lost track of the weekend because it’s a bank holiday today!
As the writing is much as it was last week I decided to talk about other news in the writing world today.
First off – apparently, e-book sales are falling and physical book sales are rising in the UK as we suffer from too much time spent on too many devices. I have to acknowledge I have not read a book online for months now – although as I only ever downloaded freebies I didn’t help the sales figures much anyway!
Secondly, we readers are more attractive to potential partners! Recent research shows that if reading is listed as a hobby on a dating website, there are more responses. Reading is a joy in its own right, but it’s interesting to think about the social and psychology benefits of it. I often wonder why some people adore reading and some don’t even think about picking up a book, so that is the next answer I want to find!
Lastly, a few words of wisdom from JK Rowling helped me out this week. Just keep writing, guys. Finish the book/play/poem/whatever you are producing. Keep going. Get to the end. You might not get picked up, but you have a much better chance if you have a finished product!
Happy writing,
EJ
