On sort of a side note. To those who consider themselves authors (or soon to be). How much/often do you read? Aside from class assigned books, I haven't read anything in close to 10 years.
I'm in the final stages of writing my second book and most people seem to find it strange that I don't read anymore. My personal opinion is that I would rather spend my free time writing rather than reading. I also feel that I have gathered enough influence throughout my youth to find my own style.
One reason why I do this is because my lyrics and poetry are heavily influenced by what music I am listening to at the moment.
