The Top 2 Best Ways To Be a Better Writer
Not clickbait, seriously. These 2 things will make you a better writer.
You may think this is clickbait, but it’s not.
I have been a writer my entire life. I have a shelf of journals I started as a kid and wrote stories and poems and songs, and then I started blogging online around 2001-ish on LiveJournal before moving to Blogspot, WordPress, and eventually Medium.
I’ve spent the last 3 years as a paid writer, where I have really settled into a specialty in editing books for other writers — my favorite thing to do!
I absolutely love diving into a manuscript and helping an author polish and reword and make their book stronger.
I am constantly on a quest to improve my own writing and that of others.
The 2 things you can do to become a better writer right now are:
- Practice.
- Read more.
Truly.
Writing is a skill — much like singing, art, and playing an instrument. Sure, some level of natural talent exists, but with enough practice, anyone can become good at it.
