I can give advice to anyone interested in writing in one word: Read! I think it's much more important to be a reader than to be a writer!
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
To be a writer, you must be a reader, yet as many as 30 per cent of my writing students were not readers.
Reading while I'm writing ideally inspires my competitive side. When I read great writers, I want to be a better writer.
I love reading; it's a great way to avoid writing.
If you want to be a writer, don't worry so much about writing. Read as much as you can. Read as many different writers as you can. Soak up the styles.
There isn't any distinction between a reader and a writer - reading is so much a part of it.
Read. Read. Read. Read many genres. Read good writing. Read bad writing and figure out the difference. Learn the craft of writing.
Reading is probably what leads most writers to writing.
Read everything! I believe that reading made me a writer.
I prefer reading to writing. Reading changes your world view. Writing changes absolutely nothing. Except, of course, when it makes you rich.
You're a reader as well as a writer, so write what you'd want to read.
