It's when I come to re-read it (if it's one I consider worthy of a re-read) that I look for the crafstmanship. <br />I do the same with films--enjoying them for the story and a sense of wholeness, first time around--then looking for the craft on subsequent viewings or readings. Of course you can't help noticing things even from the first go around, but I think I need to get the whole picture first. Just my way. I'm sure everyone has different ways of studying and applying the craft.Sea Changehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08485851023475052136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26765798.post-13102715480573325972013-07-04T06:58:29.175-04:002013-07-04T06:58:29.175-04:00Jennifer - Thanks for your comment.

That's why I study technique.Nita Sweeneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01297795209485650924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26765798.post-83856328814957727772013-07-03T21:40:08.301-04:002013-07-03T21:40:08.301-04:00Love the comments you made showing how those trans...Love the comments you made showing how those transitions were made. Never thought about it before, I just know what resonates with me when I read something written well. As I have no real formal education in writing, it really never occurred to me to write using certain techniques. Thanks for sharing that, and also the book sounds really interesting, I may have to check it out in my free time! Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09639626944723165697noreply@blogger.com
