#WritersCoffeeClub Feb 2: Do you analyze structure and technique in other writer’s work?
Yes. I've always been interested in how writing elicits the responses and achieves the effects it does. My interest steered me toward teaching.
I know reading analytically isn't for everyone, but I don't think I could read, watch, or listen to anything completely uncritically. When books, movies, etc. stand up to scrutiny, they're that much better and more enjoyable, IMO.
Noting how writing works is also important to learning how to write. We may not catch ourselves in the act, but on some level, we're all noting. It's then up to you if you want to channel that into your own writing.
