The Greatest Tip for Every Writer — Read Books

If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot. — Stephen King.

The more you read, the more ideas, hypotheses, and arguments you encounter. You start engaging with these thoughts, giving arguments and creating conversations between you and the book. If reading becomes a habit, inspiration will be always present.

Remember that the basic rule of vocabulary is: to use the first word that comes to your mind if it is appropriate and colourful. — Stephen King

As you read books, especially non-fiction, you are learning lots of new things. Building solid general knowledge will help you explain your thoughts in different ways. You will start using metaphors from different niches. This will help finding out more about yourself, and developing your own style.

If you don’t have time to read, you don’t have the time (or the tools) to write. — Stephen King.
