Reading, Writing

In my off time I read a lot. I usually set a goal for myself for the year or month, seeing how many books I can read that month/year. I read mostly fantasy and sometimes non-fiction. 

I also write sometimes whenever I'm inspired. I mainly write about my experiences in my life and about shows I really like, explaining character arcs and the show/movies arc.
