Grab a Book and Read to Learn

“If you don’t have time to read, you don’t have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.” — Stephen King

Do you want to improve your writing?

There are only two rules: Read a lot. And write a lot.

Before you start writing, become a reader first. Develop a reading habit.

I've been an avid reader since my childhood and this habit really helps me to write well and more.

I read books and magazines at home, stations, before bed, in the morning, and even the days when I don’t feel well. I read 3–4 books per month.

Most of the successful writers are avid readers. And even if you don’t want to write, it’s still a good habit for your personal development.
