#IGAuthorLifeJan – Day 18 Writing Tips

This #writertip is so simple, yet often overlooked. If you want to be a writer, you MUST be a reader. We learn our craft from other writers – how to turn a phrase, compose a fight scene, build rich characters – everything. When I teach a writing class, I’ll ask participants if they read novels, and more often than not, these new writers will confess they don’t read that often. Reading is our form of TRAINING – our workout. If you don’t want to read, then don’t be a writer.
