When a new book is published, read an old one.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I really strive to bring something new to each book. I don't want to write the same book over and over again.
I often reread books I have written.
Then you start another book and suddenly the galley proofs of the last one come in and you have to wrench your attention away from what you're writing and try to remember what you were thinking when you wrote the previous one.
Rereading, we find a new book.
I always want to write something better than the last book.
If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.
You can find my book at your favorite bookstore, and if it isn't there, find a new favorite.
Read. Read. Read. Just don't read one type of book. Read different books by various authors so that you develop different styles.
While I'm writing, I'm also the first reader, and I want to write a book where I'm excited about what happens next.
When a new book comes out or becomes accessible in whatever form, I get it and I read it.
