When I was very small, my father would tell me a simplified version of The Iliad and The Odyssey before bed. This meant that I started reading the originals at quite a young age; it was a matter of understanding the vocabulary, but I already knew the themes. 💛
Show PostI think this can be a great way of getting started with the classics if you are struggling. Watch a video where someone explains the themes and the story in simple words, then read the original and focus on understanding the language, the similes, etc.
Show Post“In order to write you need to read a lot.” Yes, but you need to read like a writer. You need to pay attention to how different authors build tension, describe characters, transition from scene to scene. This is the one, most crucial practice that will improve your writing.
Show PostI think many writers get stuck because they try to write a novel without having practiced writing much before. They are not at ease with personification, descriptive body language, transitions, dialogue, etc. It’s like trying to paint a fresco with zero preparatory drawings.
Show PostIt’s not just a matter of aimlessly writing a lot; in order to improve you need to practice intentionally by studying the great masters and figuring out the techniques they use, exactly as you would do while learning painting.
