I actually think e-books have helped people read more because it's easier to carry more books with them and makes them more affordable in some cases than a paperback/hardback. It's made book buying more accessible without long wait times, too, so I think things are great. For a long time, I resisted them, but I bought one on Black Friday several years ago, and I absolutely love it.
I have always loved reading and coming up with my own stories so I started out writing horror stories in middle school inspired by R.L. Stine and Christopher Pike. However, I shifted away from horror to writing about fantasy in the modern world in high school, including a pension for faeries and werewolves that has seen me through to where I am now. I would say I got serious about the book that started the Anberlin Chronicles in 2012 so that's about an eight year period dedicated to the world of Anberlin and its numerous characters.
I have definitely hit my fair share of writer's blocks, but I turn to music, moodboards, graphics, and other aesthetic sources to revive my energy. It helps me visualize and get excited about a project again so I can continue working on it.
