Don't only read good books, read terrible ones too. as a prospective reuter i would urge you to not only read good books read terrible books as well because they can be more inspiring than the good books if you’re inspired by a good book there is always the danger of plagiarism of doing something that is too much like that good book whereas a genuinely helpful reaction to a piece of work that you’re reading is jesus christ i could write this um that is immensely liberating to find somebody who is published who is doing much much worse than you and by analyzing why they are doing so badly this will immensely help your own style you will find out all of the mistakes not to make why did this story offend me so much yeah analyze that find out why you didn’t like it find out all of the examples of clumsiness or bad thinking that spoiled the story for you that will probably be a lot more helpful to your career as a writer
