HI FRIENDS, IF U ARE READING THIS U SURELY HAVE AN INTEREST IN WRITING.. AM JUST HERE TO SHARE WITH U SOME IDEAS ON BECOMING THE DREAM WRITER U WISH TO BE.. WRITING HAS NEVA BEEN AN EASY TASK OR PROFESSION (ESPECIALY IF U DO IT FOR IMMEDIATE REWARDS). TO SUCCEED AS A WRITER/ASPIRING WRITER:
1. DEVELOP THE LOVE AND PASSION FOR WRITING.. WRITE TO EXPRESS UR FEELINGS, UR OPINIONS AND ENJOY DOING IT.

2. READ, READ, READ AND READ.. IMAGINE A YOUNG BOY ASPIRING TO BECOME A FOOTBALLER NOT BEING A FAN OF ANY FOOTBALL CLUB..READ AND ENJOY READING, READ JUST ABOUT ANYTHING. THEN WHEN U GROW LOVE FOR A GENRE OF LITERATURE, U'D SURELY KNOW AND TAKE IT UP FROM THERE.

3. WRITE EVERYWHERE, EVERYTIME.. IDEAS COME UP MOST TIMES AT ODD PLACES WHERE WE CAN HARDLY SIT DOWN TO WRITE, AND WE END UP FORGETN. THE BEST THING TO DO IS PUT DOWN THOSE IDEAS DOWN (IN SHORT FORMS) UR PHONE CAN BE USEFUL HERE.

4. MEET, INTERACT WITH OTHER ASPIRING WRITERS.. THANKS TO THE INTERNET AGE, WE CAN MEET HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR INTERESTS. JUST AS WE ALREADY MEET ALWAYS ON NAIRALAND AND OTHER FORUMS. DISCUSS AND SHARE UR IDEAS, THEY MIGHT SOUND STUPID OR REASONABLE, BUT THE IMPORTANT THING IS OTHER PEOPLE'S VIEWS MAKE U A BETTER PERSON. U CAN MEET WRITERS, MAKE FRIENDS WITH THEM ON http://www.artsng.com

4. SHARE UR EXCERPTS.. THIS IS RELATED TO D POINT ABOVE, AFTER MAKING FRIENDS, SHOW THEM PART OF WHAT UVE DONE SO FAR, U GET ENCOURAGING COMMENTS AS WELL AS CRITICISING ONES. WHICHEVER, ALWAYS TAKE THE POSITIVES. JOIN GROUPS AND WEBSITES ABOUT WRITING AND UPLOAD EXCERPTS OF UR WRITINGS. U SHOULD JOIN http://www.artsng.com UPLOAD UR WRITINGS AND GET REVIEWS BY OTHER EXPERIENCED WRITERS.. THE SITE ALSO EXPOSES U TO OTHER ARTS AND WRITING RELATED WEBSITES AND WRITING CONTESTS/ONLINE WRITING JOBS THROUGH ADVERTS BY GOOGLE AND OTHER ADVERT PLACEMENTS..

FOR ANY OTHER INFO, U CAN PM ME.
