Is anyone else aware of Gene Wolfe's "best method of learning to write"?

in the afterword of The best of Gene Wolfe, he basically tells you to find a short story from an author you admire and read it over and over again until you know the story by heart. Then, you put it away and try to write it yourself from scratch. "you know the characters. you know what happens. you write it. make it as good as you can"

He goes on a few steps on how to do this but that's the gist of it.
