"Writers are Readers" Giveaway
When many of us are taking a virus imposed "time-out" and we are wanting to get away from our screens, because we are sitting in front of them all day in video meetings, picking up a traditional book is a good idea. I find great places to hear about new books are podcasts, friends’ recommendations or blogs I read. Recently I was listening to Gospelbound, and host Collin Hansen was interviewing author Erik Larson, about his recent book, The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family and Defiance During the Blitz. Many things about that interview I found helpful but one thing Larson mentioned was that, “writers are readers”. I couldn’t agree more. To be a better writer reading widely will always be helpful. For your writing to be strong, captivating and, thought provoking, a good writer needs to be filling her or his creative tank with well-written and varied genres of content. Two books Larson mentioned were: Mornings on Horseback by David McCullough and A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles. (Which I’ve just started.)
