People are going to think that I asked you to say all the things you're saying because I'm a big believer in like obsession as a personality trait, the most important personality trait.
I always talk about the fact that like if you want to be a fantastic writer, you have to be a voracious reader because that's how you develop a palate.
Like you would never tell a chef who's like cooking dishes and has to taste their own food.
Don't worry about developing your palate.
No, they have to.
They have to know what the food tastes like.
So they're fascinated by their own food, right?
Yes.
Guys, I promise I never asked Megan to say any of these things.
Okay.
actually actually you're just hearing from her this was not plotted out this was just organic yeah no i completely agree you gotta read all the time and you know you really do learn i learned from i'm always going back to the right the books that and writers that meant the most to me and try to almost like work backwards to figure out how they achieved certain things you know how does this book work go backwards like how did they decide it you know
I guess something like Secret History, Donna Tartt.
I've gone back to that book so many times.
How does this work so well?
To reverse engineer it.
Yes, exactly.
Exactly.
Thank you, everyone.
Okay.
Actually, actually, now I'm thinking that we might have met in the rain.
