Advice From A Great Writer

Read, read, read.

Read everything –

trash, classics, good and bad,

and see how they do it.

Just like the carpenter

who works as an apprentice

and studies the master.

Read!

You’ll absorb it. Then write.

If it is good, you’ll find out.

If it’s not, throw it out

the window.

William Faulkner (1897-1962)
Nobel Prize winner in Literature
