why are we all writing about writing
when reading is the key
to be a better writer
it’s not what you write but what you see
i’m no expert to be sure
but how you read makes a difference
how the words sound
how they keep cadence and rhythm
don’t just read the next time you pick up Poe
learn
Good advice. Does reading my Tumblr dashboard count? Hope so! Though I do have a trip to the library planned for later today, to pick up a book on hold. It’s waiting behind the desk, just for me. It’s a light and fluffy one, with more laughs than fright. I can’t read Edgar Allan Poe or Stephen King. Nightmares. However, for most of my life I’ve thought The Ultimate Book would be a collection of Poe illustrated by Van Gogh. They just seem to go together. However, their time on Earth didn’t overlap, as Poe died three and a half years before Van Gogh was born.
