Getting our first week of a heatwave starting this weekend. Summer has been cold and rainy otherwise.

A blaffair to rememblack
Can you recommend a method for get better at writing or learning how to go about writing in a way that helps to improve my skill? I am fairly decent at understanding what I like about a book theme-wise and depiction of character wise, i pick up the obvious signs of a skillful use of language etc, when it's a generally well-written book, like Handmaid's Tale bores me to tears (besides disagreeing on interpretation, somewhat out of contrarian spite for libs peddling it) but I still get why people see it as skillfully written.
But translating these observations into practice is still hard. tbf I don't aim for high-minded works. Do I just have to do it and write and get better by looking at the shit I produce?

Have you ever thought about how Jude, Yehuda and Judas are really all the same name, just written in different languages, and yet only one of these is completely proscribed in Christian culture? Seems really arbitrary to me.
