Don’t get me wrong, I love to read. If it is by choice that I am reading. And if it is my choice as to what I am reading. I also love writing. Hence me taking two Writing Studies papers this semester. I took them to avoid the pages and pages of notes and novels that I would be reading had I taken an English Literature paper. Alas and alack, I am still surrounded by text books, novels, course readers that have to be read before the lectures and tutorials every week. Who would have thought that there would be so much writing theory that has to be read to properly understand? Nevertheless, I am sure some famous, philosophical person out there has said some deep, motivational quote that goes somewhere along these lines (and if no one has, I bags it as mine!!): you cannot properly write without reading. Reading to greaten your knowledge of the world. Reading to improve your vocabulary. Reading to learn writing styles and techniques used to apply to your writings.
I am writing this right now to inspire myself to read my course readings. And, you know, you, too… Didn’t really work though. Just made me want to write more. Sigh.
Ooh, here is a quote that pretty much sums it all up:
