Micro-update

I started writing a story called The Many Beautiful Worlds of Death today. I'm finding writing easier than I used to. I think that the act of reading Flowers for Algernon has made me a better writer by some curious adaptation! Reading about someone who becomes increasingly intelligent and literate, and experiencing the method of writing in the story, which grows from using simple language to using more complex literary forms and vocabulary, might have helped. It's that or just enjoying reading a book, which I often did at a whisper. I find that I absorb and enjoy reading more when I mouth or speak the words. Is that just me?
