1. re writing

- Then, after a bunch of reading, and millions of words written, you can start to find your own voice and try to put together a story with all of these lovely little elements.
2. re reading other writers
When a tale captures my attention and imagination, I try to identify what made it so magical. For example, kleinbl00's recent story was great. In my comment I only focussed on why the last line appealed to me. Another thing I liked is that while the theme is large: humanity's love of ritual and the ease of creating a belief system out of absolutely nothing, the details are on a small human personal scale.
That is what I want to do in a story and what I want a story to do.
