It usually helps me write by reading - somehow the reading gear in your head turns the writing gear.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The one thing that makes writing a better pastime than reading is that you can make things turn out the way you want in the end!
I'm always looking at ways of shaking up the writing experience because I think it helps.
Reading is probably what leads most writers to writing.
I probably read 100 times more than I write, but that way when I move my characters through it, I know.
I usually write things in my head before I ever write them down. When I write it out, usually I've already figured out what it is I'm trying to do.
I write slowly and get distracted a lot.
I kind of go in waves with reading. Sometimes I read all the time, and sometimes I can't get settled enough to focus.
I tend to forget what I'm doing will ever be read while I'm writing it, and just get on with the task at hand.
When I write, it's like watching a movie in my head.
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.
