#WordWeavers 29 — Has your enjoyment of reading changed since starting to write?
I still love reading, but I guess I’ve become more critical. I notice more craft-related stuff like character development, info-dumping, story and sentence structure, etc. When it’s done well, I analyze & try to understand why it works. I appreciate good books even more because of that. But when it’s done badly and I know exactly why or what’s missing, I enjoy a book less than I could have if I didn’t know that.
