I Met 20 of The World's Greatest Writers. Here's What I Learned.
How I Write
Diversify Reading for Distinctive Ideas
Reading old books and timeless literature instead of focusing solely on new and contemporary works can provide writers with a unique perspective and distinctive ideas. By diverging from mainstream pop culture and recent trends in reading, writers can cultivate a distinct voice. Consuming different types of content, particularly historical and classical literature, allows writers to stand out by offering fresh insights and perspectives. There is value in breaking away from the constant influx of current information online to explore enduring ideas from the past, enriching creativity and thought processes. The deliberate choice to engage with diverse and timeless content can lead to a more unique and profound writing style, setting individuals apart in a society heavily influenced by current trends.
