Read this blog post Discovering Our Writerly DNA by Robin LaFevers at the wonderful Writer Unboxed blog.

After you read the piece, craft your own list of books that rocked your writer’s world.

In a letter or list to two partners, explain the what and the why of each book on your list. What about each book moved you so much? You’ll also need to address in your material two important questions LaFevers asks in the essay: What’s the commonality of the books on your list and if you’re not incorporating the elements you love into your own writing, why not? Be sure to include the title and author.

Send a copy to two partners.

Snail mail. International. Group membership.

I didn't sign up for this at first, because I couldn't really think of any books. Now that I've given it a little more thought, I think I can come up with a proper list. And even if I can't think of a good list, I am sure I will benefit from the exercise of examining my writing and figuring out what influenced it. I expect the answer will be obvious sometimes and terribly surprising in other instances! So I'm IN!
