I have been severely slacking on reading finally started again today lol. I plan on sectioning time off everyday to read a bit.
anyone know how to get into creative writing I wanna start writing short stories
Does anybody read but find it so difficult? I’ve read maybe 10 books in the last year and every second is painful even though I enjoy what I gain from reading. I think my brain is fried

Reedsy has writing prompts every week if that's your thing. Prize money too if you need an incentive.

Tryna read more non fiction/memoirs about gang culture and specific accounts of gang members after this convo i had wit my partner any recs? No academic sociological s*** but real stories of first hand accounts from black gangs. There gotta be some classics.
Preferably as modern as possible
