Thank you for sharing these varied, insightful questions! I especially love hearing from video game devs, being a video game fan myself and always curious about their approach to storytelling!

I myself read to get inspired as a writer, read to learn something new, to escape life, to broaden my horizons and challenge my views.

Excellent replies! I particularly like J. M. Burnett's points about reading being different from consuming stories via other mediums.

I also appreciate Esh's point about not having to live an interesting life to have interesting things to write about. I come across this idea sometimes (travel! Do loads of things! Live life!), but tiny experiences can still generate intriguing ideas or complex emotions that can be translated into a completely different scenario.
