How to read like a writer –

In The article of Mike bunn he writes “You are already an author”  I believe he refers to us specially students on how we write in the daily basis from emails to assignments to cover letters , I believe that writing or being an author  goes beyond writing articles or books but more of what you yourself wrote and that could be anything as it would classify us as the author of it, even though  I personally mostly write for school specially English as this where I’m needed to write essays or assignment based on analization from a context.

In “How to read like a writer “ reminds of how different I read in my English classes compare to the way I read for other classes as in other classes I read for the purposes of understanding the context as whole however  when reading to write is different  because you’re reading while looking for techniques and strategy that writer used while also reading to understand why the writer used such techniques and the effects it has in the readers to be able translate it into your own writing .

This article has lot of good advice that would contribute to making my writing better but some of the things that I’ve noticed in Mike bunn article that I’d like to mostly use in my own writing is the asking myself questions before the reading as I do ask myself questions after reading but never before I think this actually something that’ll very useful to help me be more focused on what I’m looking for in the text ,I would also like to use the method of starting with a  quote as I feel like sometimes I struggle on how to start an essay but if I started it with the purpose then I can go straight into the explaining which would be a lot easier.
