It’s hard for me to read good books— the kind that pull me in, where I live inside the characters’ lives. I begin to become the story, and then, suddenly, the urge to write bursts open in me. Ideas tumble over each other, and I rush to my notes app to catch every drop of inspiration before it slips away. A book I could read in an hour stretches into days, because reading always makes me want to write.
