Read! Read! Read!

It's Saturday and where I'm at it's pouring down rain. Thank You, Hurricane Joaquin! Rainy days are perfect for curling up with a good book, watching a movie, or listening to that new album. I consider all of these things to be reading because they all began on the page. Even if you're watching a bad movie, you can learn a little something about writing - most likely what not to do. (Uwe Boll is great for this!)

Inspiration can come from anywhere and anything. Who knows, even the blurb on the back of the cereal box could spark a genius idea. The point is that you should always be consuming words; they are the currency of your craft, after all. Pay attention to them. Take some time today to find a cozy spot and curl up with a good book, movie, or album. Your writing will thank you.
