I’ve done a good job of curating my Twitter lists, so I often come across insightful and educational threads. And then there are the tweets that just make me shake my head. *smile*
Late last week, I saw a conversation on Twitter that prompted a head shake and an audible “What?” Not that the people I follow had said anything wrong. In this case, my shock was with the replies.
The conversation centered on whether writers should read current books in their genre. I’ve often talked about how writers should also be readers, so I figured the answer was a “duh.” However, others pushed back—to the point of attacking the tweeter—for suggesting such a thing.
So let’s follow up with the conversation and see what we can learn…
Define “Recent”. If you mean within the last ten years, then yes. If fresh on the shelves, probably not (I’m still trying to read the Hobbit for God’s sake).
