Timely for me, so thanks for this. Also, anything that tells me to focus more on myself is always good with me.

No, there’s a lot of truth in reading something again to see how you work, to start those thoughts again.

Good advice, although I would say it might be better to read outside your sub-genre unless you’re confident in your own voice. It becomes easy to slide into someone else’s patterns if they’re writing similar stories. I write romantic suspense, and when I’m in a writing rut, I read straight mystery. Or a romance in a totally different sub-genre.
