When I first went back to school to study creative writing, one of the most important things the teacher emphasized was reading. At the time, I wasn’t reading or writing as much as I’d wanted, so I figured I’d give one a try to see if it helped the other.
The teacher was right: Reading is one of the best ways you, as a writer, can improve your craft, but how you read is as important as what you read.
Instead of writing a blog post this month, I opted to try a different medium and make it into a movie. I hope you enjoy it.

Really well done Lisa, and perfectly to the point. 🙂
I saw someone share an anecdote about Pierre Burton once. I can’t remember the context, but he met a writer whose work he was singularly unimpressed by. After they were introduced his first words to her were (roughly), “What a pleasure to meet you. I always wanted to meet an author who had written more than they’d read.”
Ouch…
