A Year of Writing s.02e.03When it comes to crafting compelling narratives, writers often find themselves at a crossroads: should they plot out every detail of their story beforehand? Or should they embrace the spontaneity of "pantsing," or writing by the seat of their pants? Both approaches have their merits and drawbacks, and understanding the nuances of each can help writers find their own unique creative process. Plotting and pantsing are also known as the writer being an architect or a gardener.

Reading is to a writer what exercise is to an athlete. 📚
Here are 5 resons why you should read more:1. It makes you a better writer2. You get ideas by reading3. You learn story structure4. You improve your language5. It makes you more empathic
The reason why reading makes you a better writer is because everything you read influences what you write. And the more you read, the more you learn about the art of writing. You can learn different techniques from other writers, like how to do world building from J.K. Rowling, or how to write thrilling stories from Dan Brown.
And I am going to debunk some of the most common excuses I hear about why people say that they don't read as much as they would like to.
