I must confess I don't read much by other writers while I'm writing. Sometimes reading a shorter work will suffice. The tendency when doing so is to copy another writer's style. Instead, I read my style. Over. And over. And over, again. And then over some more, so as to form some longer sentence to express the idea it isn't just the-five-times-reading-over noted previous for what makes it on to the resulting page. A hundred comes to mind for some passages. Others get away with some low double digits, "the tens" is the phrase which comes to mind here.
On that note, I do enjoy reading. Uninterrupted. Interrupted. It really doesn't matter. Ideally, uninterrupted. I've been reading one book this year full of footnotes and I'm still not done with it. Even so, it's still a happy escape every time I open it. I've been reading it so much, the only other books time has been made for are The Dreary House and A Place to Stay. Oh, and a fantastic young adult fiction I read early in the year so as to at least have read something else this year besides the aforementioned footnote-heavy text. It's nice when such pages different, they contrast with reading over the same content quite well.
