'One of the basic ways to develop as a writer is to read the work of writers you admire. Just as painters traditionally learned to paint by studying the classics, and copying them, so writers learn to write. You start by imitating writers you admire. Then you go on to other writers, and imitate them. There is nothing wrong in this. What is wrong is when would-be writers refuse to read other writers.'
