Cory Richards Instagram – Book reports used to suuuuuuuck. Maybe that’s why I dropped out of school…who knows. Strange how the things we hated as kids (having nothing to do, coffee, eating vegetables) end up becoming some of our favorite things later on. Book reports are one of my new faves. Being a first time author, I had no f*cking clue where to start. And then I read some pretty basic advice: ‘Want to write? Read’. In the coming weeks and months, I’ll be talking about the books I read during the writing process (as well as the process itself). I reread classics from my middle school curriculum as well as random new ones that found me in dusty bookstores. I always read physical books (unless it’s just not possible) and I always read with a highlighter and pen. I make notes in the margins and dog ear the pages and spill coffee and water and food all over them. I want the covers barely hanging on by the end, the pages a bit wavy and tired. As much as I think they are precious objects, I want them to feel lived in…because they were. Books aren’t written just for me, but I like to make them mine. I’ll be talking about those ones. Stay tuned. #thecolorofeverything | Posted on 15/Mar/2024 01:24:16
