"Something significant, magical, and inspiring happens with each word you read in the pages of a book. You explore new land, meet new people, feel new emotions, and are no longer the same person you were one word prior to reading it"- Martha Sweeney

As a reader I know the power a book holds. As a writer I hope to write something that will change someone for the better. 

"I can't write without a reader. It's precisely like a kiss. You can't do it alone" John Cheever

To be a writer you much also be a reader. In order to write anything -a poem, book, even an essay- you must be willing to read it over and over again.

"Reading is an activity of the imagination, and the imagination in question is not the writer's alone"- Thomas C. Foster

To be a reader or writer you must have an imagination. A book will never be read the same twice because every person will view it differently then another.

Always keep writing. Even when you have doubts, because to someone else it may be a masterpiece.
