( sry if there's another topic on this )
do you think that books can change the way you write? b/c after reading more often.. i "realized" that my writing got better i asked my mom how books can change the way you write.. and she said they change the way u write because if you read a lot.. you learn stuff from the book and you use the authors styles.. and stuff like that. sooo what do you think? |

^ definitely, reading is a great vocab builder.
Reading has changed my creative writing style, but I'm not sure so much of my technical writing style, like essays and such. Reading Sarah Dessen and Jane Austin books has changed the way my stories go. Like, I focus on emotions and atmospheres, as well as details and complex plots. Not giving everything away at once, or even at all, is key. The authors I admire always leave enough room for you to think for yourself. |
