Writers Need to Read
In the same way that visual artists need to be immersed in images, writers need to read and Read-Widely.
Read in your subject matter to see what everyone else is doing and where the gaps are.
Read actively, Make-Marginalia as you go. Reading is a conversation between the reader and the author.
Steal-to-Create what techniques you can.
Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. — Joseph Addison
