I am a reader and a writer. I began writing when I couldn't find the exact book I wanted to read in the library when I was twelve. Reading is often overlooked as a tool to a writer. I don't believe someone can be a good writer unless they are a good reader first, and I don't believe everyone writes the same way, just as people don't all like the same books. We are unique, so that will show up in our reading preferences and our writing styles. What works for one writer may not work for another. Therefore, it's crucial to discover your own writing style.
