I have tried my hand at writing, but I always am too hard on myself and give up. I prefer reading because nothing is expected of me. I can just enjoy the book without having to think too much about it.

No I prefer writing over reading. But reading is an essential part of writing better and improving the writing skills and to hone it to the best way possible.

I love reading and writing, but I've been spending way more time reading the past few years. Maybe it's time to start writing again.

I'm definitely more of a reader than I am a writer. I write decently enough, but I do prefer to settle in with a good book.

I would go with writing. I love to create and type up poems about anything I pick. This is something I rarely do though. I did create poems while I was in college to help calm me down since I could play around with words and only I would see it.

Most talented people prefer reading over writing and I'm not an exception.

Reading more than writing. To me, it's more effortless.

I am not a writer. I do not have the ability to sit and write out a story. But I love reading and am so impressed as to what/how authors get their ideas.

After thinking about it, I prefer reading over writing. I like to gain knowledge. You can’t write without reading. But you can read without writing. :techie-studyingbrown:
