Reading gives you access to so much wisdom, great thought, and also keeps you aware of all aspects of the craft of writing. And it's important to support other writers out there. How depressing if no one ever read a book and missed the wealth of words and worlds out there!Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-60684725360413067752019-10-02T17:35:19.178-07:002019-10-02T17:35:19.178-07:00I'm with you on this.

I have had students who can't read well due to dyslexia, but they can read some and they listen to audiobooks. So, there are some exceptions on how we read, but hearing or reading the pace of a good narrative is important to knowing how to write.Tyrean Martinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356604721537744361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-32852166126989294402019-10-02T06:18:37.323-07:002019-10-02T06:18:37.323-07:00Congrats on your preplanning!
