How did you learn how to create an image in your writing?

Becoming a better writer, no matter what you’re trying to get better at, eventually comes down to two things.

1) Read a lot of stuff, and when you read it, don’t read passively. Stop and think about why it works, and how it works.

2) Practice. Write a lot, as much as you can.

There’s no real shortcut, especially when you’re asking about a massive topic like creating imagery.
