One thing a lot of good writers have in common is that they are also voracious readers. Word-crafting is like any art, you watch how people do it, you learn the flow and processes and rules and how to break them and so on, but along the way you're also being exposed to a vast amount of other people's lived experiences.

Like seriously, I like to read and write, but someone who does it for a living is on another level. The brain learns to both absorb more information but also a drive to expand and research ideas out to completion for a scene or setting.

This is where I usually start my segue into how AI is ruining everything, but I'm tired boss.
