Writers as Readers

Writers as Readers

1. When you read, what do you need to be comfortable?

When I read, I just need quiet. I can read anywhere as long as it’s quiet.

4. What is one of your best memories connected with reading? I don’t really have any memories connected with reading, I just remember sitting on my cousin’s couch, bundled in blanket, and reading a book.

5. Have you ever picked up a book and been excited to turn the page? And the next, and the next? What book? Why couldn’t you stop reading? Is there a book you had to trudge through to finish? There’s been a lot of books I’ve read and had been excited to turn the page. Some books that I haven’t been able to get through are the books you are required to read in and English class. I just find them so boring.

12. Do you think that someone who reads a lot might become a stronger writer? Do you think we pick up vocabulary, sentence structures, themes, etc. from the books we read that come out directly or indirectly in our own writing? I think someone who reads a lot might become a stronger writer. I think we pick it up from anything that we read. I also think it comes out both directly and indirectly in our writing.

13. Do you think you’d ever write a book someday? Do you know what it would be about? How would you want to be described on the “About the Author” on the front cover? Hopefully one day I hope to write a book. I’m not sure what it would be about, probably a love story. For the “About the Author” I would liked to be described as a long time writer who is finally being discovered and hopes to be successful in the writing world.
