One of the most underrated parts of becoming a stronger writer is simply. . . reading the kinds of books you want to write. It’s not about copying anyone — it’s about understanding the rhythm, expectations, tropes, pacing, and emotional beats your readers already love!
When you read in your genre, you naturally start to absorb:
- What hooks readers
- What makes a satisfying ending
- How other authors handle tension, world-building, or character arcs
- What you want to do differently
👉 I’d love to hear: What’s one book in your genre you’ve read recently that taught you something — big or small — about your own writing?
