There are innumerable resources with techniques like “avoid passive voice”, but very few about the writing process itself, which I think becomes a crucial point to focus on if a person wants to advance beyond a “good enough” level of writing ability. Reading about Duncan’s process gave me a few ideas on how to improve my own.
I suspect that this why writers’ workshops help people improve—they allow writers to debug each others’ writing processes.
Strong upvote too. Thank you for sharing this.
