G
ood writing teaches the beginning writer about style,
graceful narration, plot development, the creation of
believable characters and truth-telling. A novel like The
Grapes of Wrath can fill a new writer with feelings of despair
and good old-fashioned jealousy, but such feelings can also
serve as a spur, goading the writer to work harder and aim
higher. Being swept away by a combination of great story
and great writing is, in fact, part of every writer’s necessary
formation. You cannot hope to sweep someone else away by
the force of your writing until it has been done to you.
