I consume a lot of media. Some of it for my pleasure, as when I devour an audiobook series while hiking and doing chores, or when Killing Eve has a new episode. But it's also part of my process as a person diagnosed with ADHD that, when I am working and need to focus to get things done, I either need a total lack of external stimuli to give my devoted attention to the work at hand, or I need to create some sort of ambient "white-noise" type of external stimuli to redirect my focus (this is how, no lie, I have become familiar with most of The Big Bang Theory catalog of episodes). Whatever it is that has me turning on the tv, opening the book, going to that art show, listening to that recording, etc., I'll be blathering about it here.

A limited series collaboration project between myself and my friend Johanna Parkhurst. Johanna is a published author and ghostwriter who is responsible for such well-received YA works as Here's to You, Zeb Pike, Thanks a Lot, John LeClair, and Every Inferno.
In this series, Johanna and I challenge each other to read books of genre fiction that the other would usually steer clear from, make fun of, or dismiss as silly or boring or cringe-worthy. If Johanna is successful, it may be the only place in which anyone would ever catch me admitting to loving a piece of standard romantic fiction (not to be confused with Romantic fiction, which I also hate anyway). |
