Copywork is a technique to practice writing by copying parts of text from authors you admire. It is not plagiarisme since you only copy fragment of text, and you do not publish these copies. It's an exercise aiming at training your brain to see writing as a no-pressure practice. It makes you in position of thinking and writing like someone you like. It also force your mind to take attention and interiorize the small details of structure, style, vocabulary and text articulation that makes a great writing.
