It seems I write better when I've been reading a good book. In fact, I'll often pick up a favorite book and thumb through a few pages before writing something just to get the author's voice in my head.
That said, I've heard many published authors say that they do not read while writing because they don't want the other author's voice to influence their own.
As a new writer who's not really developed my own voice, I don't know if my methods are helping or harming me. Thoughts?
