Becoming a writer seems to be one of the most lucrative careers these days.
Being a writer goes beyond pouring ink on paper, obeying grammatical rules and narrating a story.

What are then the secrets of great writers and writings?

1. They loved writing:- while this sounds to be obvious, it is, in most cases, not considered by prospective writers. Researches show that great writers were people who wrote for the love of it. Many so called "writers" are unfortunately goaded by greeds and envy. These greedy writers write for the material purposes. They write big jaw-breaking grammars to soothe their ego. And unfortunately, because the foundation is built on the wrong motive little distractions send them off the pen.

2. Their Thoughts was their best friend:- History has it that most renowned writers were introvert. They were quiet men not talkatives. They listened to their thoughts. They could pick up the thiniest voice because of their quietness. They had time to think and allowed their pen to do the talking. They gained insight into ordinary, common, everyday happenings.

3. They were voracious readers:- relatives of great authors comfirm this. "you would always see him with a book" a friend of a celebrated author once said. They read all that came their way. Through which they were able to build their grammatical prowess, vocabulary, and see life through other great mind's eye. The truth is you can't vomit what you dont swallow. No matter how hard you try. When you pick up your pen to write words emanate from the subconscious to the conscious mind. These Ideas that come from the subconscious brain are from your past learnings. While you can choose whether to use or drop a produced idea in your conscious mind, you cant force the subconscious mind to bring an idea it does not have. And when these happens your writing would be a letter better than a secondary school essay.


THE SECRETS ARE NUMEROUS. YOU CAN DROP YOURS SO THAT EVERY FELLOW YOUNG WRITER WOULD LEARN!
