I probably read 100 times more than I write, but that way when I move my characters through it, I know.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I read all the time. Sometimes I get asked if I've thought about writing a novel.
I put a lot of myself into my characters when I write.
Whenever I write, I'm always thinking of the reader.
It usually helps me write by reading - somehow the reading gear in your head turns the writing gear.
I tend to write one character at a time. But I don't write the entirety of one character at a time.
And when I'm writing, I write a lot anyway. I might write pages and pages of conversation between characters that don't necessarily end up in the book, or in the story I'm working on, because they're simply my way of getting to know the characters.
In my position you have to read when you want to write and to talk when you would like to read.
Only occasionally do I read new fiction. Most of my reading is heavily dictated by what I'm writing at the time.
Sometimes I - I try not to read too many fiction or novels.
When I write, I tend to read it out loud to myself after. I'm a very uncomfortable reader, so it creates a distance between the text and me - it is a new way to see it.
