How does your finished story compare to the kinds of stories you like to read? What inequalities matter to your in a story—humor, strong characters, unusual settings? What do you learn from reading stories that helps you to write better stories yourself?
As a writer, my finished story often reflects the kinds of stories I enjoy reading. I appreciate stories with strong characters who undergo personal growth and development throughout the narrative. I also enjoy stories with elements of humor and unusual settings that challenge my imagination.
In terms of inequalities that matter to me in a story, I prioritize character development and relationships. I believe that well-rounded and complex characters are essential to creating a compelling story. Additionally, I value stories that explore themes of justice and equality, as well as those that challenge social norms and expectations.
Reading stories helps me to improve my own writing by exposing me to different writing styles, techniques, and storytelling methods. By analyzing how other writers craft their narratives, develop their characters, and create engaging plots, I am able to learn from their successes and apply those lessons to my own work. Reading also helps me to stay inspired and motivated, as I often find new ideas and perspectives that I can incorporate into my own stories.
