Practice hard, a lazy person cannot be a writer, then you read other write ups that are in the category of your area of interest. Shikena 26 Likes 3 Shares |

Read! Read !! And read!!! Then practice. Get those you are looking up to to review your work and give you corrections. Don't be too ashamed when they disapprove of your work. Try again and let them constructively criticize. While story telling may be inherent, writing as a skill is learned, and it is an act. Attend as many workshops as you can, learn the act and technics of writing online. 27 Likes 1 Share |

First sets of advice: 1. Download Ubreader 2. Search for the book titled 'Mastery' By Robert Greene.. Read 3. Do midnight sub. 4. Download Ted Talks From Writers at least 50 and listen.

You will write like a hypnotised fool. 3. Read and Train till you stop writing in life. 4. You'll need to study strategic TV series like those from Shonda Rhimes or George R.R Martins.. 5.

To be a good writer you need a lot of experience in this field. Start writing short stories, use the help of more experienced specialists to highlight their skills. I did it that way. I used help of custom papers online to improve my own skills in writing and now i can say it worked... Do not avoid the advice of professionals, look for your way to improvement and as a result you will become an excellent writer. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

The only way to improve your writing is to write, a lot. Keep a journal like https://onplanners.com/daily-planner-templates-printable. Handwritten. Do different things when you journal, like try to describe your dessert in terms of as many senses as possible. Visual artists do this constantly and actually develop better vision - they see the intricate cracks in brickwork and masonry; they can describe how an elegant gown drapes from the shoulder, they notice idiosyncrasies in all kinds of things that an ordinary person wouldn't notice - because they aren't actually trained to see anything. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

It all depends on how you read..if you read wide you write well.. Right from childhood, I read various books. My dad bought lantern novels for me and I devoured it all.. I read world history, church history, books covering many issues...with laptop I had Encarta which was a useful tool.. It helped me write well and I turned my passion to blogging by establishing 6 Likes 1 Share |

Kingdeen1: Dear OP I'll give you the same tips that helped me grow from nothing to a seasoned GIS analyst in just two years. These tips work for any type of career. Firstly, know that writing is an art. So you'll go through three stages; pick a niche, learn the principles, get mentors and practice till you master the art. So, dear OP, decide on which type of writing you wish to engage in. Journalism, children story book, copy writing, article writing etc are all different types of lucrative writing. Each of them is enough to earn you a living so don't think of being a jack of all trades. Then, learn the principles of that type of writing. You can search YouTube for beginner tutorials in your chosen niche. Or take a course on udemy or Lynda or Coursera. You may also download books on b-ok.cc. it's a very good website for downloading good books. I've downloaded tons of useful remote sensing, cartography and GIS books from the site. Then identify the experts of your industry. Follow them on social media, read their works. If you're into copy writing then you might read copyblogger dot com. If your into blog writing you can visit blogtyrant dot com, if you're into SEO writing then follow Brian Dean on his blog backlinko dot com. Also, try to join groups, hashtags and communities on social media. For example, the GIS community on social Twitter have a session every Wednesday night with the hashtag #gischat. Currently, there's a #30daymapchallenge campaign going on in the GIS community on Twitter. So, join your community. Finally practice, practice, practice. And ...practice. As a writer, it's a good idea for you to have a blog where you share your writing (even if you think they're bad). Warnings: Don't judge your writing. There's one evil spirit that's always telling you that you're writing thrash and you shouldn't continue writing or you shouldn't publish it. Don't mind that devil. You won't become an expert overnight. You might need up to six months of intensive learning and studying before you become confident. I hope others add theirs. 20 Likes 2 Shares |
