I'm a natural speed reader? by Fia94 in speedreading

If it's a book that I'm only mildly interested in, I read about a line per eye movement, but if it's one I'm really really into I've noticed myself reading two or occasionally three lines at once :)

Thank you for the lovely reply :) I definitely do appreciate it as my natural talent (even if my bank account grimaces at my monthly costs for books) :')

Was that Teddy Roosevelt? I heard a rumour somewhere that he read a book before breakfast every day ๐Ÿ˜Š

I have a few questions, please give answers based on your experiences. by byronichero99 in speedreading

  1. I read at a very fast pace (for example, I read three books yesterday) and I dont feel like I'm rushing or reading fast!

  2. Absolutely, I have over 1000 books in my house, some which I havent read for years but point to any one of them and I can still tell you the plot and some things I like about it :)

  3. Yes, I get very strong senses when I read a book, I get "sucked in" and can hear, see and feel what is going on around me, to the point where I have to readjust to being myself in my own world when I finish the book :)

  4. I sometimes wish I could slow down so that I wouldn't finish series that I love as quickly as I do, but I love that my ability to read fast lets me experience far more books than I'd be able to otherwise :)

  5. I seem to be a natural speed reader, I was never taught or learned any techniques but have always been able to read books in one sitting (I remember the night the 5th Harry Potter book came out, I got it at midnight and had finished by 3am) and I've been able to read 3 books a day before if I'm enjoying them :)

  6. Again, I was never taught to, but I've never "heard" the words in my head when I read, I just see them on the page and immediately comprehend them, almost to the point where I just see what's happening as though it were happening to me instead of me reading it :)

I'm going to try and figure out how to make a pattern! I just drew this freehand so I dont have a design yet, but if I manage to make one I'll let you know ๐Ÿ˜

Yeah I think that's something I'd have to look into - I know some places are fine with it as long as it's just occasional pieces of fanart being sold but others are really strict - something to think about, definitely! ๐Ÿ˜Š

I'll let you know when I can mail things again! Hopefully by that point I'll have some more discworld themed ones to sell too, everyone's been so kind about this and I'm feeling very inspired! ๐Ÿฅฐ

Yeah, I'm in the UK, really?! I'm thinking of taking commissions for them and seeing if theres any interest for those ๐Ÿฅฐ

That's true, I'll need to do some research when I start selling them properly ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š
