Read a Lot and Write a Lot

"If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot. There's no way around these two things that I'm aware of, no shortcut. I'm a slow reader, but I usually get through seventy or eighty books a year, mostly fiction. I don't read in order to study the craft; I read because I like to read. It's what I do at night kicked back in my blue chair. Similarly, I don't read fiction to study the art of fiction, but simply because I like the stories. Yet, there is a learning process going on. Every book you pick up has its own lesson or lessons, and quite often the bad books have more to teach than the good ones." -Steven King, On Writing, A Memoir of the Craft
