Writing Hack: Read More Novels.
Learning does not have a single form.
As a child, I enjoyed reading mystery novels. I liked them so much that when I arrived at a bookstore I would go directly to that section and take the time to read the back cover so I could choose wisely.
The truth is that I never regretted buying any book. I faithfully believe that if you approach a book to enjoy it and learn something from it, you will certainly do so.
I remember very much the first mystery book I read: The ghosts of Pico de Cuervos. Although I keep many books that I love, that is probably the one I treasure the most.
Now that I look back on it, that book was the first of many that influenced my writing and my own tastes.
Finding your style.
The narrative in that book revolved around a character that no one knew. The characters were found in the shadows and under different scenarios, but they never managed to see his face or hear his voice.
That gave a lot of room to the imagination.
