obviously there's more to it. Of course there is. Immerse yourself in poetry, classics, new stuff, the genres you want to write in, whatever. Try new things. Listen to experienced writers (not me), figure out what works. But also, just start.

This is a book I wish I'd written, but I also don't wish that, because I got to read it as an unknowing reader. I cried. At silly little things that made me feel seen, at the small kindnesses of imaginary people, and at the parts where dogs were particularly GOOD DOGS.
