Reading is Better

Honestly, reading is much better than writing. You can make mental notes at the points that you want to criticize about the author(and completely forget them while reviewing) while you are reading and be totally unbiased at it. Proof reading the things I write doesn’t get the same treatment. I read what I write and claim it be nothing short of a masterpiece.
I have written short stories in the past. I have also written the first chapter of a book. The problem is that I am not able to start on Chapter 2 yet. Every time I think I should sit down and complete the vision of the book that I wanted to write and publish and a make it a bestseller, I always forget what exactly that vision was!
I must add here that the vision was indeed a great one. I was already calculating my royalties and also deciding whom to cast as my characters when the movie gets released. But for the life of me, I can’t remember what exactly the vision was. I go back and read Chapter 1 again and again (each time applauding my masterpiece) and then end up with so many directions in which the story can move ahead.
I am waiting for that vision to come back to me as a memory someday and then start on Chapter 2 and make a success of my writing career. Till then, I am trying my best to make sense of what I write here, and at the same time try to proof read it without bias.  Not happening!
 I have come to the conclusion that I am indeed a master piece creator. Not everyone can write like me. And the best part of all, not everyone can read like me and declare my work as masterpieces either. See, I am so unique. It’s a curse I tell you.
The reason I am writing this is because, lately I feel as though I am not complimenting myself enough. It is said that a person should like everything about oneself if he/she needs to gain success in this life. Charity begins at home kinda thing I guess! But nevertheless, I am beginning to admire authors more now that I got a small taste of the same success  (in my vision).
I obviously will not publish Chapter 2 and more here on this blog. But I will let you , my followers, know about its progress as and when it happens.
Pray that that vision comes back to me. I can almost taste success, it’s just an arm’s length away. Yikes, I sure hope it’s not a mirage. No, Jyothi. No negative thoughts. You are the best and nothing can come in between you or your success. (Except of course my own brain, which refuses to give me back my vision). Sigh!
I finished reading three books in a span of four days and the goodreads calculator (on the right side bar) states that I am 25% behind my reading schedule. I am so happy that Indian writers don’t write books over 250 pages. The other book that I have been reading for more than a month now has 500+ pages. Now I have to start from page 1 again, I have forgotten what the first two chapters were about!  (Alziemer’s or what?)
Please recommend books that I can finish in a day or two. I don’t like being behind in any task I take up. At least,  not 25% behind. Kindly help with your inputs here!
