The idea here is to "trace" the prose of an author you admire so that you can learn from or even replicate that author's style. Find a particular section of prose you particularly enjoy from an author you want to learn from, and copy that section down, word for word. Doing so by hand is ideal, but typing it can be useful as well. Aim to at least copy down a page or two, but more is better. - After doing so, try to replicate that writing style! Write a story as close to that author's voice as you can, or perhaps pick up the story from where you stopped copying. See how you can write that next scene in your own words, but in that author's voice.\n \nIf you want to write along with us, go to reddit.com/r/dothewritething to post your story, or send it in an email at writethingcast@gmail.com. You can also be alerted when new words come out on the weekend by following @writethingcast on Twitter.\n \nOur intro and Outro music is Antidepresseur by [friendzoned]
