My grandmother can tell when I am still reading at 4AM. And then I have to get up for school.
That's a good thing though, loving to read.
When my family asks me, How do you know this or that, I tell them I read it in a book.
Good for you, reading is a friend for life. You're probably a writer.
No. I just read.
But where do you think all of those words are going?
She smiled.
At some point you will have something you want to say.
