To be able to read like a writer means being able to get a full image of what the writer is saying and to understand why it was written in the first place. When you are reading you should be able to picture what is written down on the pages in front of you. This being said you should be processing every word to understand the story or the purpose.

            The way writers create their work is by making their piece come alive in its own way. This isn’t just with authors creating a story, it’s with any type of writing. For example, articles you read in the newspaper or political blogging sites. Even with that type of work the writer gets all the facts they need to be able to piece the story together to make a clear picture, kind of like a puzzle in a way.

            A way to be able to understand the process is to think about what was maybe going through the authors head while they were writing it. Being able to read like a writer is trying to think what the writer was thinking that way you know you are processing what they are saying and get a better understanding why this topic is so important. You should be able to put yourself in their shoes, see what the plan or idea is. 

            This to me is how you read like a writer and this is what I got out of the article. To be able to read like the writer and doing these steps, makes the process of reading a lot easier, and more interesting. This way you’re learning more about not only just the story, but also how the process of this story went and how the writer did it all.
