Rowling, Meyer, Riordan, and You

Want to become the next JK Rowling? Stephanie Meyer? Rick Riordan? All authors agree: the number one most important step in becoming a writer is to read.
A lot.
All the time.
Every genre.
Fiction.
Non-fiction.
Poetry.
The back of cereal boxes.
The instructions to your new cell phone.

There's an old saying among writers: "You read and you read and you read. And then one day, you throw up a book."

Gross, but true.
