Answering a question about life and my relationship with fictional books…!

What books do you want to read?

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…!

A good Tuesday morning and I slept so good;

Because last night as I made a post here which basically discussed what counts as a fulfilling marriage to you…!

Which became a type of prompt for those people who are in my WhatsApp and they answered in one word;

Which became a challenge for me until the afternoon of Monday until I reached home and killed the whole topic within a span of few hours, because I already had the base words and the concept I wanted to prove ready…!

The said prompt in question

What One-Word Answers Taught Me About Marriage
My answer to the question…!

And I slept late yes,

Around 3:30 am because as soon as I was done with it, I dozed off for an hour and I was like “this will come haunt me later…”

So I woke up at 8:30 in the morning,

And I have to survive this whole day on 5 hours of sleep…! 🫩🫩

Yup,

A problem brought on me by myself;

(Khair…)

Coming back to the prompt

What books do I want to read…!

There are many books that I have with me which just sit in my bookshelf and there isn’t something that I want to read specifically…!

But there is something that bugs me,

I love a good book;

like an inch thick book works for me; (in height)

Anything that is more than that seems like a challenge to even look at…

Because when you’re more of a writer who loves to work around things and provide people with concepts and information in clear and concise manner;

These thick books makes no sense…!

I mean I don’t want to ruin fiction for anyone, but most of my work tends to revolve around reality and the things that happen naturally in life and when things stray far away from it,

It feels like I cannot relate to it anymore…!

That’s my reason,

I want to spark a change in me to be able to read fiction, because I like to watch movies and plays which are based on sometimes real sometimes fictional characters;

Which doesn’t necessarily make me hate it or avoid it at all costs…!

Does it make any sense to you…!?

I really hope it does;

Happy Tuesday…

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍

    This makes so much sense. Loving reality, clarity, and concise words while still being curious about fiction shows such honest self-awareness. Maybe fiction will meet you gently someday. 🤍✨

      There is something worrying about fiction even when I start to write something like that;

      The sky is the limit,
      I’ve seen on Wattpad, been there myself too,
      Maybe the initial type of fiction(fanfic to be accurate)
      Spoiled it for me…!

      But it is slowly creeping upon me as the line between the reality and fiction blemishes…!

    It makes total sense…. As a reader myself at times it’s all about mumbet of pages and at times I m lost !
    you value efficiency and truth. Thick fiction might feel like a “waste of words” when you’re wired to get straight to the point….. totally get it !
    Since you enjoy movies and plays, try Novellas or Short Story collections. They give you the emotional depth of fiction without the filler, keeping things as concise and grounded as your own writing. Try and let me know 😇❣️
    Have an awesome day was not well hence was not able to read or write 😌
