>hear this a lot but I don't think it's necessary unless you want to do the kind of writing which emphasizes a lot of wordy wordsmithing
>Going to call bullshit on that anon, there's more to writing than words words words. You need to know how to write characters, structure your plot, etc etc. No downside to reading more.
The downside of reading is it takes time . Stuff like characters and plot is easy. I have better things to do than read books . Can I write flowery fiction style writing? No. But I don't want to.
For comics I prefer to read comics or watch movies
