When I write best is after I read

I read constantly. I take a book to work. I read in bed before I go to sleep. I have a couple books, and magazines, in the bathroom. And when it is time to write, if I read first (especially books about being a better writer) I become a better writer.

A writer that doesn't read does not have the tools to write. Read, read, and read some more, and of course, keep writing.
