Want to know the one thing that will make a difference to your writing?
Well I’m about to share it.
Get ready.
It’s reading.
Yes. READING.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. It can’t be that simple, right? Wrong! It really is that simple.
Immersing yourself in the genre you’re writing in not only helps you with language and style but also with finding your writing voice and it also helps with grammar and spelling. Something every writer at any stage can benefit from.
I don’t know about you but my grammar is often weak, especially in my longer works. But I’m working to improve it, and reading helps me to recall certain grammar rules.
It also helps your mood by helping you relax and centre yourself. Plus if you’re anything like me, reading a paperback book can aid in helping you fall asleep.
So, what are you waiting for? Go on and grab yourself your next favourite read and get cracking.
Paperback books are still my most favourite thing to pick up and read, but kindle is a close second.
What’s your favourite? Paperback or eBook?
