There’s a lot of talk about writers who can churn out hundreds of thousands of words for one single story and how powerful they supposedly are, but nobody ever talks about the readers who read said stories and then go, “I binged this in two days.” What do you mean, you read this in two days?! This is five hundred thousand words! It took me years to write and you just sit down and go, “I’m gonna read that in a weekend”? What else do y’all read for fun over a single weekend, the entire Lord of the Rings???

Writers who can write hundreds of thousands of words are powerful, maybe. But even we pale in fear before speed-readers.

What else do y’all read for fun over a single weekend, the entire Lord of the Rings???

Yes.

Yes.

I am in this post.

Part of my Neurodivergent Brain-Nerfing is Speedreading.

Also, weekend? Try a night of no sleep being enough time for the Trilogy.
