How can you know what type of writer you want to be if you don't read. Reading gives clarity to your voice. Style and technique come second to being well read. This can also be a way to break writers block. Let other writers help you pave the way, by hearing the voice and creating your own. I challenge you to read 7 books in 7 days. This may mean different things for different people; reading doesn't have to be a 300 page turner but something you love. Read what makes you happy, what speaks to you; if you do this reading won't be a challenge at all.
