Principle #2-Read, Write, Repeat

In this lecture, Principle #2: Read. Write. Repeat., students will learn the critical importance of continually reading fiction, especially within their chosen genre, as well as studying other storytelling media like films and TV shows.
Through examples from successful authors like Stephen King and filmmakers like Amy Holden Jones, students will understand how voracious reading and analyzing both masterpieces and flawed works is essential for developing their craft.
After this lecture, students will be able to:
1. Appreciate the value of being a prolific reader within their genre to absorb storytelling techniques.
2. Actively seek out novels, movies, shows and other media formats to study exemplary and lacking examples.
3. Critically analyze works, identifying strengths to emulate and weaknesses to avoid in their own writing.
4. Establish a habitual "read, write, repeat" cycle to continuously improve their skills.
The key takeaway is that students must make reading a consistent priority, not just for pleasure but as dedicated study of their genre's conventions, styles and storytelling approaches across different media. This foundational principle will aid their growth as novelists.
