William Faulkner on learning the craft

Read, read, read. Read everything—trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an appretice and studies the master. Read! You’ll absorb it. Then write. If it is good, you’ll find out. It it’s not, throw it out the window.
