Literary Gluttony

Many thanks to Hope Clark, who distributes a heck of a weekly newsletter called FundsforWriters (read online at: http://www.fundsforwriters.com/FFW.htm). You can find her blog at http://www.hopeclark.blogspot.com.

She shares some wise thougths in the February 10, 2008 newsletter about reading and writing:

"If you do not have the need to read, you don't have the right to write."

"The more you read, the faster you read, the smarter you become and the better you write."

"You cannot be in love with writing without feeling the same about reading. If you can't find time to read, you don't have time to write well."

As a self-professed literary glutton, I am drawn to check this out: Literary Gluttony: How to Consume More Books This Year.

I may or may not have more commentary on this later; maybe we don't want to get me started on reading and writing. I'll never shut up/stop typing. I have work to do, and rest to take, because...

I GET TO SEE THE KIDS THIS WEEKEND! It will only have been 29 days since the last time...

(and there was great rejoicing...)
