you should read a book you have enjoyed and deconstruct it. Give yourself a gramar lesson say and then read a chapter and look for examples of that tool or language style. Repeat for different elements of the craft until you recognise how an author has built the structure of the prose. After and during you doing this you can then start to look at the abstract parts of building a story. WHY the author has done what she did - what does in achieve in terms of character - plot - environment and the conflicts between them etc etc.

I see this as reverse engineering and since I begun to learn to write this has helped me alot think about WHY I'm writing what I'm writing. I'm still shit but you know I never give up. (26 year old Engineer here so anyone can do it if I can)

What country would you say has the most "literary" literature tradition in its culture?

There is no way for You - whoever is reading these words - to prove that the rest of us aren’t acting just for you. If you ask us, we will say “no, we are not acting.” But the inevitable truth is that this world came out of Nothing. You were born into this box, and we told you what it is; this is Earth and we are Humans.

And you never once questioned us… The truth is that you don’t know what you really are or where you truly are. At the end of it all, we might all stand up and congratulate you on living through a fantastic, thrilling journey. It felt so real. Like so much was at stake. You felt so much. It was all worth it. It was all real. Right?

Most likely, you will read this and then just go on with your life, together with your friends and family, and you will forget these words. You will never realize how close you were to understanding the truth of your life.
