Attend creative writing workshops if you have the time. You can also help yourself by reading textbooks or manuals on creative writing, you can look up William Zinsser's On Writing Well. Great book. Goodluck. |

Read books on creative writing, and books on English language and grammar. Just as important, read books, all kinds of books - Novels, biographies, etc |

Gud day writers, i love writing, i write stories a lot but don't knw how to develop it to become people's need nd dnt ve enough idea of writing, because of my academic background. I am a science student in high school nd now studyin mech eng. in higher institution. I love writing, nd wud love to become a writer but don't know how to go about. So, any advice may be i can still make as a writer or not nd which aspect of writing. Tanx Writing has different facets, believe me anybody can write and anybody can flow with words, grammars and ideas but it takes quality choice of word (diction), quality sequence of arrangement of events (plot), quality inductive and deductive reasoning and many quality terms to be prolific in writing. Sometimes, academic background is not the basis for writing but many scholars from the faculty of arts tend to be prolific in writing than their counterparts from other disciplines. As earlier advised, attend creative writing workshops, study some basic literary writing concepts, be familiar with various literary terms and their appropriate usage, study previous works, styles of prolific writers and authors on the aspect of writing you wish to write on, then work hard to justify your work. I hope this helps? |

Read lots of books, you can then follow some styles used by authors. I also read sciences ( i am a doctor) but while in school i developed an interest and also studied literature. I follow the writing of Agatha Christie and have a blog http://drerhumu..com/ |
