3. Reading gives you a feel for and can expand your own ideas of stylistic items such as graceful narration, metaphor, transition, voice, and more.
4. Reading gives you both inspiration and drive to move forward in your own work.
5. Reading is a great way to get ideas!
6. Reading shows you what’s already been done.
7. Reading lets you take advantage of lessons already learned by generations of smart writers.
8. And, via our good friend Stephen King’s excellent book On Writing: “The real importance of reading is that it creates an ease and intimacy with the process of writing… Constant reading will pull you into a place… where you can write eagerly and without self-consciousness.”
