Just talked to a class of sixth-graders and one of them asked "If someone else wrote your book and you read it, would you still think it was good?" and I felt the room start to spin...

@NickEast_IndieWriter @galacticwriters @bookstodon @writingbooks @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised how, when I re-read one of my novels for the first time, I find I really enjoy reading the story. So much so, I end wondering did I really write that and thinking damn this guy's good.#WritersOfMastodon #SecretLife… #HowtoSucceed… #Author #Novel

@NickEast_IndieWriter @galacticwriters @bookstodon @writingbooks @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop As a non-writer (of fiction) my first thought was "surely it doesn't matter who the writer is" and took me a while to realize this wasn't a question about "who the writer is".But yeah, kids can have very unique views. Some old music reviews I've written would definitely grind my gears today.
