1. WRITING, WRITING AND WRITING:
What is the purpose of writing if it never fulfils its purpose? What drives you to write? For what purpose are you writing? It is useless just writing, writing and writing when it only ends up in a chest slid under your bed.

 

According to UNESCO report, approximate published books since 1990 to 2014 is 2,200, 000 books. The recorded numbers of books published in Nigeria in 1991 was 1138. In 2015, published books are already tolling 1, 162, 250 books.

 

If published books are already in their millions, imagine how many articles, opinions, short stories, editorials etc have been written and exposed (published) to billions around the world. Write ups that have impacted lives; informed and entertained people.

 

So, when you keep writing only to read to yourself, you are making a very big mistake. Moreover, it does not give room for critics and thus improvements since you can always give yourself a pass mark.

 

2. NOT WRITING; NOT WRITING; NOT WRITING:
The main culprit responsible for a rusty writing is- NOT-WRITING-OFTEN. Practice they say makes perfect. Consistency makes expertise. Repetition makes habit. Sharpen a sword now and leave it dormant for months. By then, it would have become blunt. Constant writing enhances writing skills.

 

It is a great mistake as a writer if you don’t write in a day. What is wrong with you? How dare you? How dare you spend your whole day without finding something to scribble down? This could then mean that your level of observation as a writer is weak. Have a small note in your pocket and write often lest you invite a block (Writer’s Block).
