Losing Patience with Reading

Recently, I have been pretty bored with what I am reading. Online or otherwise. My RSS feed is full of the same voices writing about similar topics. Nothing inspiring. Nothing thought-provoking. No one else is to blame. Of course.

It's not them. It's me.

My current mindset is such that what once inspired me no longer does. Posts about writing setup, meta posts about blogging, or thoughtful reflections on one's life experience would have my ears perk up. I skim through them now. I have read about them all. How many setups can I be excited about if I know I can't have it?

My biggest gripe has been losing patience with most long posts that I come across. They ramble on, the key point getting lost in flowery prose. The words are carefully chosen, pricey. Bejeweled. But they seem to be losing their soul.

And because nothing that I read inspires me, I have lost interest in writing. Only if I read well do I write well. Or write at all for that matter.

Time to correct that. I have unsubscribed from all the RSS feeds. I will start small, with voices that spark something in me.
