“Read a thousand books and your words will flow like a river”

- Virginia Woolf

People ask me often for tips on how to write better. My number one tip has been: Read. And read a lot.

Don’t try to copy anyone’s style because everyone has their own, and with a life-long commitment to practice, it really will come out, naturally.

Reading is courting an idea, character, dream or author.
Many at a time. Necessary.
