On Writing: Reading

Writing and reading are parallel acts of paying close attention.
We read and reread, trying to get at
The core experience our audience will have.

We read to a new book to see how it’s done,
To pick up new moves,
Because we are curious,
Because that’s how we get inspired.

Exploring the tightly knit relationship between reading and writing,
You discover some practical strategies, and some time-saving tricks;
Techniques that will help your writing.

Learn from the successes and mistakes of others.
Talk about other people’s work the same way
You want yours talked about.
