3 Great Reasons Why Every Writer Should Read Broadly.
Stephen king said, “If you don’t read, you don’t have time to write.” Even if you have read one white paper, you probably know what reading gives. That’s because writing is preceded by first reading what is already written. Here are 3 great reasons to get a book, a newspaper, magazine, articles, and other written material variety.
1. Reading Informs.
Reading informs you how writing is done. Reading an article from a blog will probably add another tip to your writing skills. It will also expose you to different writing styles, voices, plots and also thought processes. This greatly eases your writing as you do it regularly. You will eventually learn all about the writing craft through reading books, blogs, magazines, sales letters among other sources.
2. Writers who read widely gain creativity.
Being creative is having the ability to imagine and tackle a problem. Writers who read regularly tend to be more creative and open-minded. Reading exercises your brain, increases your concentration level, and also boosts your confidence thus increasing your creativity level. Books, magazines, and other written variety helps you explore different topics and enable you to link different actions to many possible outcomes.
3. Read to get inspired.
As a writer sometimes you may experience “writer’s block”, and have no mood to write. This is usually a great time to pick up a book or read an article. Seeing what other writers have done with mere words will inspire and nudge you to write. Learning new vocabulary from a newspaper will also get you into writing.
Conclusion.
To bind up, reading can make you wiser and more knowledgeable. As writer you need these benefits as they will greatly improve your writing. So don’t just read one book. Read everything written in any material.
