i know intellectually that reading several books on the craft of writing itself will at least give me something to chew on. empirically, i have read several short articles on writing things which have made me a better writer when keeping them in my back pocket. but jesus fuck is my brain in full Resentment mode during the reading of this genre book

#sam's thinkin again #things i've read #rn im on john truby's anatomy of genres #and like its definitely got some interesting points ie 'horror' as a genre being a religious one 9/10 #but also its kinda western centric and also also my brains in full tantrum mode at being told what 'beats' to hit #like maybe my horror protag's deeper desire ISNT to defeat death what then #i do like the emphasis on combining genres tho #like haha i do that
