Read, read, read. Read everything--trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! Youll absorb it. Then write. If its good, youll find out. If its not, throw it out the window.--William Faulkner Yous never get this kind of exhortation from a reading management program whose message is Read, read, read. . .test, test, test. Just like all of the other students who are testing. Read! Test! If you pass, you are a good reader. If not, you can take the test again tomorrow. And where is the conversation, the invitation to thought capture? As that apprentice is working with the carpenter, there is modeling and mentoring. There are certainly conversations around strategy and approach. And there is evidence--in the tools and the creation around the shop--that the work is important to the carpenter as it will be to the apprentice in the future.
