There's no such thing as evidence of the intelligence of a fictional character, silly boy. OP asked what to expect, someone answered, you came up whining that he's dumb because he has suboptimal financial management and that there is no objective proof of his intelligence.

There's nothing to gain here.

If pic related looks random to you then it will be very hard to explain to you why it isn't because the way your mind works allows no sensible frame of reference.

The first noticeable change was a sort of improvement in the fluidity of my writing. This applied mostly to the syntactical arrangement of arguments, stories, essays, etc.

From that greater syntactical understanding, I gained a bit more insight into how to frame a solid rhetorical argument. Obviously the content of any piece you write is the substance of your work, but the format in how you present it allows for a different pragmatic appeal, if that makes any sense.

For example, in copying Hemingway's work, I learned how he used the environment in order to describe the internal state of his character. Long winded, excessively descriptive environments would often imply that his character was in a sort of indecisive or tumultuous fugue. Vonnegut's work was a lot more succinct, but there is a very mystical, almost grand presentation to his ideas and thoughts that the narrator uses to evoke a sense of relation to the characters. Almost as if all of his characters are children, and though he describes them with adult motives, their underlying principles are described as if they are children and undeserving of any greater view.

So basically, got better at syntax, and was able to appreciate how authors present their feed of information to the reader in order to enhance the pragmatic appeal of the story, characters, situations, etc.

How does one.....?

Complete the question and attempt to answer it. Let's see where this goes.

By focusing entirely on the content. This requires two things: a knowledge of what you are writing, and some sort of idea of a format in which you want to present this flow of content.

Beginner writers may refer to something like the shaffer method.

Intermediate authors may refer to the warrant- claim method.

Advanced writer will refer to a context specific method, in which they use an inductive, deductive or abductive flow of reasoning.

In all methods, causality is the key.
