Make literature notes. Whenever you read something, make notes about the content. Write down what you don’t want to forget or think you might use in your own thinking or writing.
I struggle in this step in particular. I highlight key texts, but turning these into my own ideas or words is a challenge. I think here is where I go back to “How to Read a Book” to consider if I agree or disagree with the author’s premise. My brain craves a framework for what to write in literature notes.
