How I have learned.

So I share recent writing that I did about learning a little bit about my own story. I realized that I talked about narrative theory a lot but I never really went through who I am and where I come from. Just recently I realized that this journey truly did begin in 2018. When I actually began to become a true multi-disciplinarian. Starting to read in different areas of math, science, philosophy, theology, nature, healing… I share how I've been able to learn as an adult who had never written. Who would never read many books, certainly never read a book for fun. Fast forward to today: I can write as well as many other writers.  According to the Hemingway app. I read multiple books a day when I began this I wondered if I could set a target of reading three books a week? To get to 150 books in the year? January was a start, I read about 58 hours of books and that's at 1.5x to 2x speed. That would be the equivalent of 70 to 80 hours at normal speed. Now I'm one month in, scheduled to be 500 books this year, not exaggerating I'm able to read/listen to a couple books a day. Right, because what I've been able to do through my own practice. That I might share: I will listen to one work in one ear and consume another form of media in another ear.  I'll listen, which is one mind: the ear, and I will watch, and read (listen obviously) but I'll have the closed captions on for a video. So I'm able to consume two pieces of content at once. What that has allowed me to do, as a severe dyslexic when I can't tune out road noise and fan noise and chair noise and pencil scratching, this has allowed me to perfect my mindfulness and learning, my focus. Finally the reason for the title. It's a reference to Nietzsche's autobiography where he talks about why he writes such great books and why he is so brilliant. Being bombastic to make your point. I need  to open minds. Thank you for your time.
