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
