If you want to become a better writer, get ready to do some work. Because it won’t happen overnight, and not just because you want it to. You’re going to have to practice writing, write, write, write!
Anyone who writes can say they are a writer, but that doesn’t mean they’re very good at it.
So let’s address how you can become a better writer.
Make Notes.
Lots of them. When you think of a good idea and write it down, you’ll often think of what you want to say, points you want to make, etc. If you don’t write those down, too, you’ll lose some of them. So make notes under your idea – it’ll jump start the writing process for you.
Write for extended periods of time.
The first hour of writing tends to be the least productive for most people. Then over the next 3-5 hours, you should be in the flow of writing until you eventually get tired and need to quit for the day.
Write Simply.
Bullet points and numbered list types of blog posts (like this article) tend to write themselves.
Write about what you know about.
Hopefully, you already know a good deal about your topic – if not, research it beforehand.
If you’re having trouble getting started,
Just write nonsense and gibberish until your mind gets into the flow. Often this takes only a minute or two. There is no such thing as writer’s block – only writers who won’t start writing.
So write anything and when your mind is ready, you’ll find you’re writing about your topic.
Write every day. Make your writing effective. Write – then edit. Don’t be lazy; do your best to avoid sounding stupid. Keep focused! Distraction is your enemy. Stop worrying about being perfect, just write. Forget about being famous, write what’s worth writing to you. Don’t write just to get published. Write with conviction. Read other authors.
Write somewhere else.
Most writers find they are actually more productive when they move out of the office and into the local coffee shop or park bench.
Make writing a habit.
Just like anything else, the more you do something, the better you’ll get at it.
BONUS TIP:
Would you believe that you can write faster by hand than you can by typing?
According to one author, when they had an impossible deadline looming, turned to handwriting the chapters and found they could 3,000 to 5,000 words per day, rather than their usual 2,500 words per week.
