Since you are here reading this post, I think it’s safe to assume you’re probably a creative or some sort of writer or artist? You want to improve your craft and your reach, but you don’t know where to start. Maybe you have a favorite author or songwriter that you want to be like, and you spend hours searching the internet on ways that you can be like them. They have inspired you, and you want to chase the life they are living. You may want to try to emulate what they are doing and follow in their path. While this may seem like a great way to get started, it’s not always what is best for you and your journey. The world doesn’t need another blank. They have them and their work, and that is enough. What the world is looking for is your voice and the value you can add to it.

You always heard it growing up in school, “you should really read more”, “it’s good for your brain”. Well I’m here to tell you that maybe those people weren’t wrong. Reading has many proven benefits and has been shown to even help boost creativity. When you are in a rut and don’t know what to create an outlet you can take is pickup a book and dive into a new world. Or find a book that teaches you a new skill that you’ve always wanted to learn. Or find something that inspires you to be a new and better person. Books have the ability to offer us an escape from reality they enter our minds into a new reality and allow our imaginations to take a journey. Without the use of videos or pictures we can use our minds in new ways to build our own images based on the words the author is using. They can be informative and teach us new things about this world we live in. Here are a few of the many benefits of reading a book whether it is fiction or nonfiction.
