- rimantas 10y agoAn editor gave an advice for the aspiring writer once: read more books. —Will it help? —Sure. The moore time you spend reading the less time you will have for writing crap.
- erikb 10y agoThat's not the reason though. Writing crap is actually what makes you write awesome stuff. Reading is a way to see what other people do and learn from their crap and awesome stuff, if you take the opportunity to really take things in beside the story it contains.
