Sherry asked Eldonna Edwards:

How do you balance your writing time and reading other authors books? I would get to caught up in reading and never get any writing done. 😄 Also, do you get ideas from other authors books?

Eldonna Edwards I do most of my reading in the evening, after all my other work-related activities that include writing, blogging, social media, marketing, running a business, etc. The problem with this is that it takes me a long time to finish other author's books because I fall asleep after a few pages. I have to be very selective in choosing books to read or I'd never get through my TBR pile!

Although I'm often in awe of other writers I can't say that I've ever gotten an idea for a story from another book, Usually when I'm reading I allow myself just to be in someone else's story so I can take a vacation from my own busy mind for a while!

Thanks for asking, Sherry!
