It’s Friday, so it’s time for the Book Blogger Hop again, hosted by Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer. I’ve made my own image from a stock photo (credit: Anna Shvets) to avoid adding images created via generative AI to my blog. Feel free to use it too if you would like!

This week’s prompt is about whether you’re a writer:

Do you see yourself more as an editor, a writer, or just a reader?

Setting aside the work I do on this blog (which involves all three, heh), I’m mostly a reader, but I do write as well — even discounting my blogging and the writing I do for my various clients, and my two dissertations (I believe that’s “theses”, in US terms — they were for my MA and BSc), I write stories, usually just for myself (though I have been known to write and post fanfiction when the mood strikes). I’ve also done some science communication writing, but again, informally.

I have done some formal editing work, editing dissertations and theses for people who don’t speak English as a first language. My favourite was on Cappadocian cave churches!

But mostly, I’m “just” a reader with a blog and a backlog of books that’d make a pile so tall it probably is worthy of being called “mount TBR”.
