on Helping Writers become Authors:
In a world flooded with stories—books, shows, films, and endless social content—it’s easy to fall into passive consumption.
But as writers and creatives, what we take in matters just as much as what we put out.
To write with depth, clarity, and resonance, we must first learn to read more intentionally and watch with greater awareness.
Intentional consumption isn’t about being rigid or “highbrow.” Rather, it’s about choosing stories that challenge us, feed us, and reflect the kind of storytelling we want, in turn, to create.
