Just Weighing ⁓ Learning to Write ⁓ Page 3
My Dislike for Writers
Dislike for writers stems from their inability to read. For a time, I stopped performing beta-reads after becoming aware of mentally rewriting author’s stories like a pedantic English teacher correcting an adult’s grammar as one would a five-year-old. After retraining myself to avoid this sin, I discovered many writers unable to divorce the habit, spurring a stronger dislike beyond their asshole nature. Still, I will help you learn to write.

Mimesis: The Way to Better Writing
Vincent Triola

By reducing the use of pronouns and redundant references to characters, writers can close the narrative distance and improve the mimetic effect of their writing. This is particularly important in third-person novel writing, short stories, and articles where pronouns are used frequently.
