#WritersCoffeeClub Apr. 03 — Have you studied writing? Did it prepare you, or did you learn more by doing? I studied it at school, and then the rest has been self-taught. I definitely think school gave me the basics - I was already writing stories by age 10/11 - and my English teacher sent a piece of mine off to a Uni lecturer mate of his to mark it as a Uni piece. It got a 2:1 iirc. So I think that pushed me to learn more by myself & work out WHAT works, WHY it works, etc. Def a lot of Doing.
