Good day/night to you all.
I read today that beloved nutjob Hunter S Thompson honed his writing skills by intentionally copying his favourite works. Rewriting books like the Great Gatsby word for word. The art of manliness site has a nice little article on it as well with examples of other writers who have done this How to Become a Better Writer: Copy the Work of Others!
So I ask you scribes. Have you ever tried this? Does it work?
I would love to know if this would benefit me or not, because I am considering spending some serious time on this if it works.
