To Read or to Write

It's always a difficult choice for me. There are only so many hours in the day and what's the best way to use them? Reading, which I love and enjoy totally. Or writing, which I also love and enjoy but not always totally.

Because writing can be hard work and very frustrating. A book goes too slowly. It takes twists and turns I didn't anticipate and need to figure out.

Reading, on the other hand, can be a guilty pleasure. Is the laundry done? What to make for dinner? Can I see what color the floor is or has too much dirt been tracked in?

Oops. Guess I'd better get a mop.
