Writers: Do You Have a Reading Habit or a Reading Hobby?
Description
We’re going Behind the Book with someone who plays a critical role in the literary ecosystem, you!
On episode 55 we’re replaying my short but important pep talk about why writers need a reading habit and not just a reading hobby.
Even if you heard this episode last year when it first aired, I encourage you to listen again to remind yourself why it’s so important for you as a writer, to develop a consistent reading habit in order to up-level your writing skills. And, of course, to contribute to the literary ecosystem. I mean if we writers aren’t consuming good books on a regular basis, then we can hardly expect the industry to survive, much less thrive.
You’ll learn:
- The difference between a reading habit and a reading hobby.
- How to cultivate a reading habit to up-level your writing skills.
- How to read like a writer.
- Why writers should avoid the basic book club.
Let’s get a good reading habit going for the summer!
