Me alegra que te haya gustado. En definitiva, eso resume el texto entero, es una buena cita. La verdad es que siempre nos vamos a ver influenciados por alguien, qué menos que usarlo con inteligencia. Eso aprendí tras leer a tantos autores que dejaron marca en mi.
Impressive statistics on your Substack success. Meanwhile, those exercises are interesting. Some writing instructors used that technique at college levels.
I didn't know this technique was used at the university level. To some extent, I understand. It's an idea that came to me when I started reading a lot of Isaac Asimov, a fiction writer from whom I learned quite a bit. Although we write completely different things, his writing style greatly influenced mine, especially at the beginning. That's how I used the technique with his texts.
That exercise always seemed intimidating to me, but other writers on Substack, including you, and the massive learning I acquired from my writers' groups really helped a lot. And I'm still learning (and there's so much to learn). I'm posting my 2011 novel, Paradise Ridge on Saturdays on my Substack and have had to retype the whole thing because the computer ate the original file for some reason. Even my techie husband is mystified. Anyway, I'm finding lots of weak phrases in it that I'm tweaking.along the way. And here, I thought it was the Great American Novel. HA!
