DP Daily Prompt: Morton’s Fork
If you had to choose between able, to write a blog( but not read others’) and being able to read others’ blogs( but not write your own), which would you pick? Why?
Honestly speaking,I will choose neither.
The style of writing of every one is different, their choice of words, their likes and dislikes, how they feel about something or anything gives me the kind of motivation I can never get just by writing.
Which brings up the following,Why do we read a variety of books?Do we read for pleasure only or do we learn from it? If I were to answer this question, I’d say we get pleasure and knowledge by reading books. The knowledge can be as simple as increasing my vocabulary, it can be to improve my writing.
If I just write and do not read, whether it’s fiction non-fiction or even a blog, I’m withholding my chances to be a better writer.
Reading others’ work opens up a lot of possibilities, of learning, increasing my vocabulary, the art of writing and there are so many things!

Dear Ranu,

Thank you,Robert.
It was very difficult to answer. But I totally agree with you. It would feel incomplete if I had to choose only one of the options.
I agree. We do not live in a vacuum. We need inspiration and a place to express. Sometimes I think the prompts are written by people who need to get a fresh view.
I agree Leslie, they need to get a fresh view.Thank you for your comment.
Another good point: how could you be FORCED to make one of two choices?
Thank you Noah.
