Comments on: Write what I read? No thanks.

I agree. When I spend time reading an author’s books, it’s usually because I enjoy the way they’ve handled certain aspects of the story. It’s very rare that I believe any particular author writes all the aspects of a story perfectly, but those that they do handle well, I want to be able to do the same.

Reading the stuff that’s done well is certainly a good way to learn what works!

It’s not the genre, but the result I would like to emulate.
The inferences of character, the methods of suspense, things like that.

I’ve found I can’t write EVERYTHING I like to read. Heck, I LOVE historicals but there’s no way I’m going to write one!

I agree with your thoughts on this, Terescia. And you know, if I didn’t, I’d tell you! =)
