Episode 71: Readers Make Good Writers
“Learning how to be a good reader is what makes you a writer.”
~ Zadie Smith
In today’s episode, I break down how you can use your skills as a reader to inspire and support your writing.
The key ideas I share are paying attention to how the writers of the books you love to read:
- Take you on a journey (i.e. the structure and order/organization of things)
-
Create a cadence and rhythm (i.e. sentence and paragraph structure)
-
Share a powerful voice (i.e. word choice)
You can use your favorite books as models for how you want to write!
