RC: Read, read, read. Write, write, write. Every successful writer I know is a great reader. It's also important to write regularly. Discipline is as important as talent, perhaps even more important --- a lot of books don't get written simply because talented people never sit down and actually write.
Lines from Robert Cormier,one of my favorite authors, from an interview. Never have I read words that have affected me so deeply. Merely because writing is what I want to do, and I really don't want to end up like "one of the talented people".
