I think I'd add a caveat to her comments about reading while writing. I don't write stories in the same vein as the one I'm working on (ie, I'm not reading other Vietnam era fics while working on Covenant) - but I do read other things. I don't think you can be a writer (a good one, anyway) if you're not also a reader. It keeps your mind working, and keeps new ideas floating in there as well.
