Well my dears, Princess Talia reads because this lovely lady wants to become a writer when she becomes older. Because lets face is this princess is 5ft tall there isn't very much growing up left to do. Too much coffee I guess. Anyways, I read to improve my writing, especially when I'm in a writing funk. If I have writer's block I read plain and simple. Reading is what gets my creative juices flowing. I'll read almost anything it just has to look interesting, have fun characters and resembles the inner narration in my head. I wish I could read more, it's hard for me to just sit down and read sometimes. I want to read more but there are other things my brain would rather be doing. Like spending my time on YouTube or catching up on Hulu shows. Even if I don't read books like they are going to disappear, I enjoy a good story, and I enjoy reading what my fellow writers have written before. If anyone would like to read anything I wrote I'll post some of my poems and short stories (let me know), maybe it'll inspire your writing like other stories inspire mine. Pictures can also be very inspiring as well. In every post I'll include a picture that I either enjoy or a picture that inspires me.
YouTube and Hulu are clearly the enemies of writers everywhere. But I like your points about how books (and pictures) are inspirations to writers. I wholeheartedly agree.
