- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.

How is it going?
He wrote that comment, so I say he succeeded
I wrote.
Tbh as a kid and even know a lot of the fascination behind the job as writer was all the freedom you get. How mundane you can be while creating something that will resonate even 50-100 years after you passed. You can write everywhere, while you enjoy life and travel to your favourite places and just chainsmoke cigs and binge drink alcohol. (This is the idea i had of a writer, damn you Hemingway) Having said that, i would love to write something that makes other feel like i feel when i read some good books. The feeling that reading that book in that precise moment is the best thing i could do with my life.
But to write something that isn't complete and utter shit like a lot of books i see, the first thing you have to be is: very cultured and you have to master the language in which you'll write. In order to get to that point the only thing you can do is educate yourself and read, so as of now i try to read both because i enjoy it and because i feel like i need to get a good vocabulary and idea on how to express a coherent tought that isn't the most cliché thing you've read in your life.
