Taking a week-long reading break

Part of this week's practices of The Artist's Way is to partake in a "reading deprivation." I am going to work on being with my own thoughts throughout the day instead of my normal daily habit of reading a book, a selection of articles, or any other kind of social media post. This will be a good challenge. I'm looking at it this way: whatever I want to read, I need to write. So I may still share some posts on my blog throughout this time. I'm curious if removing reading for a bit will increase writing and other ways of being present to the moment. Looking forward to finding out.
