Books+Writing=New Novel!/:

So I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem. I love reading and, of course, I love writing. But when I'm writing a book I usually tend to get off track of what I was writing about. For example, I'm reading Life As We Knew It. It's a diary about what would happen if the moon came closer to earth. I don't want to write about this, but this is just an example. At the moment, I'm working on an action story (The Zinc Project: Book 1). So, reading Life As We Knew It, makes me want to write a diary about some natural disaster. See what I mean? I've been very good at holding up The Zinc Project lately, but then it starts to get boring and I already know what's going to happen so now it's more of an assignment. Anyone else have these problems? If so, message me or leave a comment!
