It's so rare to find one that "wows" me that I no longer seek out performances to attend. <BR/><BR/>(I'm not trying to sound like a snob here... it's just something that I've noticed about myself!)<BR/><BR/>Maybe my problem is finding great stuff to read, not finding time after all. <BR/><BR/>In any case, knitting sounds like a lovely hobby! : ) <BR/><BR/>AngeliqueThe Quoiblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632853309100258560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326557935285065813.post-12416922376249825112007-06-18T10:24:00.000-04:002007-06-18T10:24:00.000-04:00I also love to write and love to read... when I ha...I also love to write and love to read... when I have a good book. But I wonder if maybe <I>because</I> I write I have a hard time finding good books. If I am reading something and don't like the style, I can't finish it. I'd rather sit down and work on a novel that I have more control over (I have to say "more" to qualify, because I never have total control over a story, even when I'm writing). And after a long day of writing and chasing after a toddler and cooking, I sometimes prefer knitting... it still feels constructive, but helps set my brain up for sleep. Try it ;)<BR/><BR/>And if all else fails, tell yourself that <I>one day</I> you'll have time to read!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
