"Writers as Readers"

When I read I can pretty much do it anywhere. The most preferable way to do it for me, is alone in a high place like a tree or on my house. No matter what i need music in my ears to help completely  block out the world. I absolutely can not read in silence. I enjoy eating while I read but I never fully get into it because I’m so worried I’m going to get food on it.

One of my best memories connected to reading is making one of my best friends with a book. I don’t remember which book it is now but we both wanted the same book and we would always get to the library at the same time and head to where the book should be and find out that it had just been checked out. So we conspired together to get the book before anyone else could, and that’s how we became best friends.

A book that I couldn’t stop reading was the 5th wave, I couldn’t stop because it was an exciting read the whole time you never knew what was going to happen next. Even when I had to put the book down I never stopped thinking about it, I would try and guess the possibilities of what was going to happen. Then I wouldn’t be able to focus because I needed to know what happened. The Daughters of the Moon series is a very hard couple books to get through because they’re essentially the same thing over and over.

I can’t remember which book I read first because I’ve always read more than one book at a time, so it’s between When You Take a Mouse To School, I’ve Got a Wocket in my Pocket, or Green Eggs and Ham. These books stand out to me because they’re the first books I read all by myself.

I think someone that reads a lot can be a very strong writer but then again I read all the time and I’m a terrible writer. I’m much better at editing someone else's writing, in fact I enjoy editing. I think this is because it’s essentially reading just with a separate goal in mind. I think if you pay enough attention to sentence structure and themes you might be able to directly or indirectly put it into your work but i feel that you really have to be paying attention to it.

If I ever wrote a book someday it would be a very short fictional story, it might take some of my past experiences and put a dark twist on them. On the “About the Author” I would want it to make me seem as mysterious as my book. So it would just have very basic facts that you could learn just by googling me. For example, Katelynn is from a tiny town near Arkansas, she isn’t married but does have a lot of animals. It would be very simple and I probably wouldn’t have a picture of myself either.
