So I guess there’s hope for me yet, when it comes to writing! 😀
And I do agree that the more one writes, putting effort and thought into it, and consciously striving to improve, then by and large, improvement does follow.
As a reader, though, I’ve never really thought of it as something I do to improve — but I imagine that if any reader pursues books that stretch comprehension of language and ideas, then one’s capacity to read deeply will grow.
Food for thought, just to kick off the week.
