What you read will impact what you write in various ways. When I started to read daily, I chose a specific time so that I’d be consistent. Every morning, the first thing I do after I get out of bed, take care of the cats, and get the coffee started, is sit down and read. This can take me 30-60 minutes (I’m usually up at 6 am).
