Welcome, readers, to what is essentially my own completely unnecessary way of getting me to do stuff that I already wanted to do, but didn’t want to spend the effort doing. Before we get started properly, in summary I put this blog together because I’ve gotten nostalgic for my middle school years, when it felt like all I was doing was reading books and dreaming up stories (and putting off homework). This is just my way of getting myself to read a little bit more than I am now, which will, I hope, inspire me to get writing a little bit more. If the reading doesn’t, then I’m sure getting into the habit of putting together these blog posts will.
Arthur Conan Doyle once wrote, “there is no branch of detective science which is so important and so neglected as the art of tracing footsteps.” I’m taking this a little bit further, applying the art of tracing footsteps to my reading habits.
My current goal is to read one chapter a day, a number I hope to get a little higher as I get back into the swing of things. If I don’t update daily, shame on me.
