Read. Not all readers become writers but all writers were readers first. So, read whatever and whenever you can. Make notes on that moves you and what peeves you. I don't think it matters if you're reading e-books or hard-backs or hand-written scrolls. Read.

Damian Barr:
I wind myself right up before a book release. Constantly checking tarot cards, the iching all that stuff. Stuff that does the opposite of calming down my mind. Eventually (before my brain blows up) I've got into the habit of walking, looking at trees, birds, and generally heading out to the wild world. That always quietens my mind. How about you do you suffer from "pre-match nerves" and what do you do to stop it?
