Reading and Writing Go Hand In Hand

Maybe it’s the weather, maybe it’s just that summer laziness has kicked in . . .but I’m not feeling the writing bug today. Does that mean that I’m slacking? Absolutely not! Today I’m spending my extra time doing my favorite activity–just reading :) So I’ll leave you with a quote by Faulkner in case you’re tempted to feel guilty about abandoning that writing project temporarily to get lost in a book.

“Read, read, read. Read everything — trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You’ll absorb it. Then write. If it’s good, you’ll find out. If it’s not, throw it out of the window.”  ~William Faulkner
