In order to be a successful writer, one needs to read. A lot. Every year I make a goal of reading 100 books. This is a stupidly ambitious goal. But! This year I read 80 books (58 fiction and 22 nonfiction). Not all of them we good; in fact, some of them were downright horrible. Knowing why they're horrible helps me learn how not to be horrible! Not being horrible is a good thing. It's also useful knowing how the great books were written.
Happy New Year! May 2014 be your year of action and story progression, as 2013 was used strictly for character development.
