Reader or/and Writer Dilemma

I used to be a voracious reader. Now I am an insatiable writer. I am worried that I am neglecting my books because I take more of time writing and managing my different accounts and several personal stuff. My books are crying out for me. My reading list is 300 plus and I am still not finishing the wonderful The Night Circus soon. I want to finish it because it is talking to me, asking some more time. I have been reading it for weeks now and I am barely 80 pages.

I have written more than 80 pages of my own literature but I ignore the fact that I also need to read to harness my skills and to explore what other writers want to express. Writing has been so easy for me now. it flows out of my hands without any effort, if I must say and ideas spring up from my mind non-stop that I am filling notebooks. And I am glad I have changed. I am not the procrastinating Marvin anymore. I finish a lot now. I can concentrate now. I can sit down and write a whole novella in one sitting if I have to. But with reading, nah. I am preferring really short books now or a story or two from a collection.

But I will try to improve. I love my craft but I love more the art of reading for it gave me the inspiration for my writings. I should not abandon my favorite works and authors. I must support all of them. So I decided that i will check my email the first thing in the morning and give at least 3 hours before checking it again. The middle time, I will just read. The book I am reading now is thick but it is only less than 400 pages and very easy to read for the plot and the writing is superb. I will finish you today, dear book. Do not worry. or tomorrow. Or after two days. i promise. I promise I will finish you.

How about you? Are you becoming more of a reader than a writer now or vice-versa?
