5 Things You Must Know Before You Can Write
« on: November 05, 2009, 04:40 PM »

1---- To start writing you need your mind, when i say your mind, i mean that inner begin that does all the imagination and soul searching, if your mind is distracted, then you are not able to focus on a particular thought, so to be a good writer the mind must not be troubled or bothered, it(mind) must be calm, cool and relax so as to connet with those powerful ideas lying in oblivion,

2---You must learn to read books, be vast in reading, anything that is sometime is worth reading, the more you read the deeper and wider your knowledge becomes, this helps to deposit ideas, informations , skills and concept in your subconscious mind,  Start reading now,

3---Never fear rejection, most times this is a very huge problem, the thought that people might not like or find your writing interesting sets you back,   The more you think of that the farther you get from writing anything, start taking advantage of those criticizm, they are there to make you correct your mistakes,

4---Try to be open in your writing, don't restrict yourself to one topic, find other topics or ideas to write on, be creative and learn from other writers and be as objective as possible in your writing, never attack with your writing,

5---- The last but not the list, self confidence, resilence, dedication, passion, creativity, the love for the art of writing, dreams and imagination, these are very important ingredients you need to become a successful writer, the more you work on all these aspect the stronger and better you become,  Start something now!!!!!!

Oh!
It is interesting. But,
I am writer and can say that it is not so easy.
If you can live without writing don't write. But if you can't imagine your life without writing you don't need to know any things.

Are these also applicable in writing good articles, reports, blogs and journals because i am not inclined to the novels and stories angle?
