A writer-friend emailed me to say she’d read my 2018 women’s fiction novel, Things I Never Told You. I was happy to hear she loved it. I also appreciated it when she shared several specific passages she liked. And then she ended the email with, “Oh, Beth, if only I could write like you.”
*Blush*
My response?
“Don’t worry about writing like me—it’s hard enough for me to do that.” Then I said, “You write like you.”
