This is a great take on a tricky-to-do artform. When witnessing, and subsequently writing about these profound moments in life in such a way, it is markedly difficult to stray from detailed explanations and head towards concision. These are very useful and practical tips, easily applicable to one’s own works right away. Kudos.

This list just added a few new places to my Bucket List itinerary. “Les Deux Magots,” is an absolute must, as Jean Paul Sartre and I, by all my subjective accounts, are 100% within the same karass. Thank you for this, I know whereto at least some of my future pilgrimages will be.

I’m a writer who approached the process through finding I had a knack for wordplay in my critical analyses of the literature I studied in school. I’ve always tried to create original plots, characters, etc., and more often than not, I find myself with writer’s block for that very reason.
I have good friends in college who, as part of NaNoWriMo, chose to write fan fiction, and they explained it all to me largely in this same, ultimately positive lens.

They told me it was very beneficial for honing your skills and refining your weak spots as a writer. The subject is intriguing, and I particularly liked the portion, “Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul.” I feel this is a great medium to enhance oneself as a writer, while more importantly, writing about subjects that matter to you personally. Very in-depth explication of the topic, kudos to the author.
