I enjoy reading and writing but I’m bad at it.

People often encourage reading and journaling. I do enjoy reading but I struggle to write [pen and paper]. It’s almost like I’d rather be doing anything else. I thought it would be fun to challenge myself to writing posts in different formats. I usually use my phone but I wanted to use a notepad to write during the day. When it actually came to doing it I was so tired and couldn’t think of anything worse. I had planned to use my typewriter next but I just don’t want to do it. I’m finding with reading I need to be in the right environment. At first I was going to a coffee shop and listening to Lana Del Rey to block out the chatter and it worked, but reading at home I find really difficult. My first problem is I’ve now started 4 or 5 different books and unintentionally stopped reading to read something else. I’m not motivated to go back. This is something I want to change. I also think the environment I live in puts me off reading. I just want to be left alone with very minimal sound so…
