Reading time
I, personally, have always found reading to be an enjoyable and singularly beneficial activity. I just ran across an article that talks about how reading stimulates creativity. I think it is very true that, if we try to constantly compose and create without ever replenishing our store of ideas, we’ll tire out fairly quickly. The author of this article makes this same point. Writing, especially, can wear on one’s resources, and it’s always a good idea to read more before starting a particularly large project. I think the most interesting of his points is that the author mentions something like reading biology articles can help give him ideas for writing about something completely unrelated to that subject.
