The Writer's Chatroom Topic Chat: If You Don't Read, Stop Trying To Write

Pretty strong words, but oh so true.
Would you hire a plumber who didn't know how to put pipes together? Or a surgeon who didn't know anything about anatomy? Would you watch a football game if the players didn't know the rules? (Well, you might watch for the laughs.)
So what makes you think you can write a book that people will be willing to spend their hard-earned money on, if you don't know how good books are written? It's a simple matter of learning your craft, the same as any other career. You can't be successful if you don't know what a successful plumbing job looks like...er...how a good books reads.
Join us tonight to discuss the value of reading, for the first hour. We'll take any other questions you may have in the second hour. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We look forward to chatting with you!
