Reverence for Reading

I love to read and think it is an important activity for everyone. Bonnie at Bonnie's Books posted about a book that I've never heard of before: 366 Meditations to Cultivate a Productive and Meaningful Writing Life ~ by Fred White, 2008. I really like what she posted from White's book, which I am copying below:

"The Daily Writer: 366 Meditations to Cultivate a Productive and Meaningful Writing Life ~ by Fred White, 2008, writing

"From getting in a creative frame of mind to maintaining good writing habits to breaking through writer's block, this helpful guide is every writer's key to developing the discipline, focus and dedication needed to become successful."

"My friend Donna actually bought this book, but she suggested we could do the writing prompts together and read what the other said. That sounds interesting to me, so I took a look at the book this evening. The 366 in the title refers to days of the year, with February 29 included. I found this book-related meditation on the page for January 5:

Reverence for Books and Reading


"One cannot become a good writer without being a good reader. After all, since writers create reading, they learn to appreciate the range of quality and content that makes reading so rewarding. In order to develop such appreciation, writers must read widely and deeply."





I think reading is so important that I have a TX license plate for my car that reads:
READ TO SUCCEED!
