Read, Write

Sunday night and I've read far more this weekend than I've written.

I had to go back and read some story transitions by some of my idols.

I'd make a long speech about how being inspired by the masters can rescue otherwise mediocre work. We all know that it is easier to write well after reading something that was written well.

So much for the speech. You now know he point of this drill. Occasionally, we have to look beyond the trench. We have to get out of our own mud.
