- Sometimes I can't read when I'm writing because I need to be in a bubble with just me and the source canon. (Or maybe I can only read stuff by certain authors, usually the ones who write the character voices really well.)
- Sometimes reading helps my writing by putting me in the "headzone" for a particular fandom/character, inspiring me, or just helps words move around in my brain.
- Sometimes reading CAUSES my writing because I read something and think "nope, I need to write my own take on this."
