What Do You Have To Say? - Writing: Makes Me A Better Writer

[Error: unknown template qotd]I'd have to say that reading other writer's work and identifying what makes their work good and what makes it bad helps me to improve my own writing. A writing teacher of mine once told me that he doesn't think authors should take a year off to write, which is often the case, but should instead take a year off to read. I completely agree with that statement. Just as studying other artists helps a painter or a sculptor improve his work, I think that any writer can improve upon examining and studying the work of others.
