I read and study a lot. A lot. It is the single most important thing you can do as a writer. If you aren’t studying—and not just your peers, but other writers in other fields, industries, and niches—then you are missing out on a wealth of inspiration. When I write, I combine so many different elements that I have stolen from music, poetry, prose, magazines, blogs, etc. Styles. Forms. Tones. Anywhere you can find these things, study.
