When It Comes To Stories, Are You A Writter, Or Reader?

~~Ninja Turtles 25 Years~~ · 03-31-2011, 07:51 PM

Do you perfer to read books, or write them which could also include illustrating?

I'm definately a novel writer. In fact I can barely even stand reading, because I perfer my written material in movie or video form.

I like to read books cause I find characters interesting but I prefer writing because I enjoy writing about everything I've seen in my life and look back at what I wrote in the future.

I have creative ideas for a book, but my biggest problem is that I get a bad case of writer's block. I want to do it, I'm ready, but I don't have the mood for it.

So lemme get this straight. You only like reading you own material?

I enjoy writing, in fact I love it. When I really get going I can put some pretty good stuff to paper. However I prefer reading to writing myself. I don't often have inspiration to write and it's a lot of fun to read what other people come up with. I love that feeling I get when I read a good twist in a story. You just don't get that with your own material.

I don't see how you can be a writer without also being a reader. I enjoy both, myself.

From those two choices, I identify more as a writer, but I fully believe that you can't be a good writer without being a good reader. Fiction, non-fiction, novel, script, fantasy, action; the books I get from the library span the entire Dewey Decimal System. I take influence from everything, not only reading but movies and television as well, hoping to learn what to do from the good stuff and what not to do from the bad.
