In an increasingly prompting driven world, guiding and steering through natural language becomes the primary interface. Which means -- clearly articulating anything in words, in writing is the crux of everything So in this world, what do you do? You read - you read and read and read then the writing just emerges almost as if by accident

I disagree, my friend. While depth + breadth of reading ofc helps a writer become themselves, the communication muscle must be flexed and stretched and torn to strengthen Great film does not come from hours of watching Great music does not come from hours of listening Why would great writing be any different?

I disagree because at some point I can’t help but write I can’t help but film and I can help but play music at some point My bottleneck is consumption in acquiring the nuance

I’m similar (if I don’t make, I will die) and I was surprised to learn that other people (even other people that make incredible things) don’t necessarily feel that too. I think you’d find this book interesting. It’s a survey of a bunch of famous makers of things and how different they all are in their process https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/daily-rituals-how-artists-work_mason-currey/794991/item/10279080/
