This episode came about because of a response I gave to a writer on Threads. The writer had asked if they really needed to read craft books to be a better writer. I responded saying they did not because they could read in their genre.
So, in this episode I touch upon the following:
- You already know more than you think
- Books in your genre are craft books
- Learning from books you love keeps you writing
I offer one action step of reading a favorite book in your genre in reverse with a "writer's eye". This allows you to pay attention to the craft because you're not getting caught up in the flow of the story. I offer some suggested questions to get you started inside this episode.
Happy Writing!
