@alech @skinnylatte by writing. Seriously, the only way to learn is to write incessantly, for various audiences. Write your friends a long letter talking about the normal and really weirdly normal things that you observe in the market and on the streets. Write a journal describing how you felt during the day when things happened to you. Write an explainer for your aged parents on how to send an email (joke).

@alech @skinnylatte oh, also by reading. But not reading for content; reading for the pleasure of a well-turned phrase, a poetic description, a jarring interrogation, a lyric interlude.

@craigduncan @alech @skinnylatte and your written voice *should* differ from your spoken voice. All the inflections, body language nuance, contextual subtleties, etc have to be carried by the written word. That’s not to say that your written version should not be authentic; it is to say that you have to keep in mind the fact that your reader is not in either your same space or time. In fact, by writing you are engaging in time travel, so you must be conscious of the sometimes unknown (and possibly unknowable) context and perspective of your reader.

@futurebird @Free_Press there's a lot about this story that doesn't make sense/isn't clear yet. where did those workers live, shop, eat, play, learn, etc? It's kinda hard to hide several hundred workers, some presumably with famillies, in a rural factory town
