who do you read?
Who do you read when you're trying to find the right words?
Which authors make you murmur "yes!" aloud as though you're sitting there having a conversation? Or cause you to underline ferociously and annotate in the margins?
This summer I read Shauna Niequist's book Bread and Wine and I still haven't recovered. I felt understood. And the way she strung words together was magical.
Lately I've been struggling to write. When I do get the time to sit in front of my computer, the words don't come out. So I'm going back to the basics, going back to reading. When I know I'm not writing well, I can at least be reading well.
So I'm going to my bookshelf and pulling out the authors I love.
Am I crazy? Who do you read when you need inspiration?
