When You Stop Writing Because You’re Reading

Not sure if other writers do this, but I know I do. I will start researching something for my writing … and before I know it I  get sucked into reading EVERYTHING I can get my hands on before I get back to writing.

So far I’ve read just about everything I could find online, bought two books and really want to buy a third except the $25 price tag is making me hesitate. Not the first time for something like this to happen. I do this ALL THE TIME. I let one of my drafts sit on my hard drive for far too long because of the sudden obsession to read whatever I could find before writing another word.

Is this a problem, or a part of the writing process?
