\"\"Let\u2019s welcome back monthly columnist\u00a0Martin Haworth<\/a>\u00a0as he shares with us \u201cLearning from Our Reading.\u201d Enjoy!<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Over the summer I\u2019ve been reading a lot (haven\u2019t we all?) and I\u2019ve realised that my reading has changed a little as I\u2019ve started to write more and with the hindsight of what I\u2019ve learned along the way.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My reading likes are varied and I\u2019m prepared to take risks (usually from the charity shop!). I love good crime fiction; \u2018happy ever after\u2019 romances and (some) Dickens<\/a> as my favourites, but I\u2019ve also started to read some of the better stuff that receives recommended reading status for writers. This Summer, I read Annie Proulx (\u2018The Shipping News<\/a>\u2019) for the first time as well as Sebastian Faulks (\u2018Where My Heart Used to Beat<\/a>\u2019), both rather outside my normal bedtime entertainment – and really enjoyed them too.<\/p>\n

I also finished two more great books,<\/strong> one by Peter May (\u2018Freeze Frame<\/a>\u2019) and one by Clare Mackintosh (\u2018I See You<\/a>\u2019), both of which were very compelling in a different way, for they were thrillers where the page-turning came from the compulsion to find out what happens next.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re all different and read in varied circumstances. Some people manage to read a lot on their daily commute. My sister used to be able to curl up with a good book and be undeterred by three boisterous brothers playing indoor football around her. I read mainly in bed at night and in the morning (having the luxury of quite a few days in my month where I don\u2019t work). But I\u2019m also able to take a good book down to a lonely dinner when I\u2019m worked away and need to spend nights in hotels too. Indeed a good book is vital for me when I\u2019m away. I left a new Tami Hoag<\/a> in the seatback on the plane the last time I was away for a week (good job I took a spare!).<\/p>\n

For me, a book needs to move along a bit and have pace,<\/strong> intrigue and characters I can empathise with, but it definitely doesn\u2019t want to intimidate me by its size. I\u2019m easily bored, so Pride and Prejudice<\/a> or War and Peace<\/a> are earmarked very near to the beginning, never to be opened again unless I find myself bedridden for a lengthy period sometime. In fact I can\u2019t think of any book I\u2019ve read that has exceeded 400 pages.<\/p>\n

I know very early on when a read is going to lose my attention and so I\u2019ve started to notice more what it is about a \u2018good read\u2019 that keeps me engaged and is a hard-to-prise-me-away-from story.<\/p>\n

So what did I learn from these very different books as I lay on my metaphorical beach, with a margarita in hand?<\/strong><\/p>\n

For all of them, except the Proulx, which meanders to an end in a slow, fascinating way (and equally compelling for it), I can see that each of the writers simply must have had an idea of how they were to end before writing commenced. I can\u2019t believe that these books reached the conclusions they did without in some way at least, working backwards.<\/p>\n

All of them have varied, yet fascinating characters. From Proulx\u2019s harmless,<\/strong> rather weary Quoyle (who I wanted to give a kick up the backside to several times!), through the mixed Scottish\/Italian Enzo with his mixed up relationship problems running alongside his cases. Then there\u2019s Faulks\u2019 Hendricks who you sort of feel sorry for a lost life, yet want to follow through on his quest (why didn\u2019t he\u2026 whoops, no spoilers!) and Mackintosh\u2019s ever-busy Zoe Walker, who is always one step away from some scary and lurking stalker\/murderer situation that only takes shape towards the end of the book. Two of the books are written in first person and two in third and I know the writers will have made conscious decisions about that.<\/p>\n

So, what can we derive from such a range of stories. Good structure. Good pace. Characters all with drive AND challenging backstories (their \u2018obstacles\u2019). There\u2019s also such a lot in the stories that takes time to unravel, rather than be clear. To keep us guessing. To have us turning pages till late in the night.<\/p>\n

My personal learnings are as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Have prepared good depth to characters and be as unlikely as you want to be in your creativity. On the page it will be OK!<\/li>\n
  2. Have an appreciation of how the story will end – or be prepared for a lot of re-engineering on rewrites.<\/li>\n
  3. Build in the twists and turns so the reader can say, \u2019Aha. I thought that might be the case\u2019. I think readers like to read the clues, store them away safely and then find out they were right – maybe. The balance here needs to be really careful, for you don\u2019t want the baddie to be too obvious, do you?<\/li>\n
  4. Enjoy your reading, but DO take note of what you read and how it works, then, as a writer, you will be educating yourself and doubling your value.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Next up for me?<\/p>\n

    Well, I have a Henning Mankell<\/a> and Annie Proulx<\/a> book of short stories (for I think I prefer to write them) ready to go.<\/p>\n

    Enjoy your reading!<\/strong><\/p>\n

    PS \u2013 I\u2019ve also dug out my copy of \u2018Reading Like a Writer<\/a>\u2019, by Francine Prose!<\/p>\n
