Really interesting, Georgia. I read books written by men who are experts in various fields. I always learn something or many somethings new from them. Then I tuck that information away and pull out whatever is relevant as I write.
Right! The third rail is remembering--your memory and ability to call up the information or quotes when writing. That's why intentional reading seems to work because making notes as you read according to the story you have in mind to write serves you and your readers. It took me a couple of decades to finally learn intentional reading and research methods to improve writing practices.
