Adam Langer's Writerly Advice

Author Adam Langer (Crossing California, The Washington Story), in the latest Make:

(A)void taking writing classes, avoid participating in writing programs, and try to experience was much life as you can before setting anything down on paper. At the same time, read books that truly inspire you because I don't think there's such thing as a great writer who isn't also a great reader.

Amen, brother.
