Reading with understanding is how I approach texts. I sometimes reread pieces when they resonate with me, and that's what motivates me to explore other articles by the same author. There are a handful of writers who can capture my attention with every word. However, the reading base we establish often leads us to fixate on familiar authors, which can be problematic for other writers trying to gain recognition. As writers, we need to become diverse readers to better understand what to write and to expand our mindsets on a larger scale.
