Write or read?

When I was younger I read much more than I wrote. I probably read one book and ten articles for each page of writing. But over time, I’ve noticed that my priorities have changed, and now I sometimes feel I write more than I read. Probably not in terms of number of pages, but definitely in terms of time and energy. It takes me a lot of effort to download and read a scholarly article, not to mention to buy and open a scholarly book — whereas writing comes easily, almost effortlessly.
