Q: In Japanese, what would a word like tsundoku be but for writing not reading?
A: The Japanese term for acquiring and accumulating books without reading them is
"tsundoku" (積読). However, there is not a specific term in Japanese for accumulating
writing without reading it.
However, if you are referring to accumulating one's own writing without revising or
editing it, the term "hikaku shite inai" (比較していない) could be used. This phrase
means "not compared" or "not revised," implying that the writing has not been thoroughly
reviewed or edited.
