( 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? |

YES YES YES YES
The way I read books is....well, I can't explain. I read so fast the book is more like a movie in my head. And if I spend too much time on a book, I start to mimic the writing styles of the author. Which I HATE, it makes me feel completely unoriginal. I just read Under the Wolf, Under the Dog (forgot the author, sorry) and then I tried to write a short story...and found that it closely resembled the main character's thoughts in Under the Wolf, Under the Dog. As for vocabulary, I guess that does increase as I read, too. My vocab mostly comes from listening to other people use words incorrectly. ( i learn better by fixing mistakes ) |
