How do you become better at writing?

1. You analyze other writers' work. When you read, you look to see how the author did things, like how they started their story to hook the reader, how they introduced characters and showed what they were like, how they described settings and action and got things across with dialog, how they kept the pace going, how they set a mood. You see what works well and what doesn't, so you know what to do and not do in your own writing. You might take notes to remmeber all the thingsyou can learn about writing from readng writers you like.

2. You keep a notebook of ideas, character names and character sketches, events you might want to put into a story, bits of dialog youoverhear that you might want to use, insights about writing, etc. Then when you're having a writer's block moment, you might be able to use these items to help you past it.

3. You write. You can't be a writer if you don't write. You can't just have a vague idea for a story and name some characters; you have to actually tell the story. You have to get a whole first draft down . Not just a few paragraphs or pages. You do a few each day, but you keep on going with it.

4. You revise. Your first draft very likely has lots of flaws, from typos to plot inconsistencies to loose ends, to clunky pacing. So you read your finished draft and see what isn't working, then change it. You polish it more than once.

5. You have others read it and consider all of their critiques, even if you don't at first agree. That doesn't mean you have to change everything someone dislikes, but you do have to understand why the person didn't like something and whether it should be changed.

6. You revise based on the feedback you get.

7. If you get stuck on one story, start another. Don't use writer's block as an excuse to stop writing. But don't just igve up on a story, either. You can take long walks and just think about the story or the characters to see what happens. You can make lists of possible directions the story can go in. You canask others what they expect or want to happen (not to have them craft the story for you, justto get other perspectives on it and jog your own idea factory).

8. Read books about writing, too. They often have useful tips and techniques.You'll learn about things you may never have considered before.

Read. Read. Read.
Practice. Practice. Practice.

If you're reading and don't know a word, don't just skip over it. Look it up! Find the definition and study the context that the author is using it in. Read your work and other's works out loud until you're able to hear the words instead of just seeing them.

Feel what you are writing. If you're writing a narrative piece of work, let your imagination become so vivid that you can almost physically feel what your characters feel. If they're feeling pain, make yourself feel it and describe what it feels like.

If you're writing a nonfictional composition, I suggest writing about what really matters to you. If it's something for school or a project that you have to write, make it matter to you. Find the common ground. Relate to it. Make it so important that you feel that your reader must see it the way that you see it.

In short, I feel that Ernest Hemingway put it best when he said, "Write long and hard about what hurts." Because if it doesn't hurt--if it doesn't matter--then you'll never be able to write about it well enough.

Write a lot and Read a lot. Seek for comments and comment on others' works. Learn from others' success and failure. Think about why the book is good or bad. Be regular. Don't stop writing. Don't allow excuses. Start doing the above things on sites like Figment or Penana

READ. Write every day. Even if it's just a few sentences. Keep a journal. Go outside. Gain inspiration from the world.

well theres nothing much but for a beginning read lots of good books and just write, try it doesnt matter each story should have plot, a setting etc and just write and keep some suspense you will understand after reading some good worth while time books

Q The First Timelord here,

I find masturbation and oggling women helpful to achieve better writing skills. But that's just me, and from what I am told, i am a bit off anyways.

Practice and practice a lot. Read different types of literature articles. Experiment on new things. Go deep and research on articles properly on which you are working on so you can provide proper facts and information. Try catching up with the trending topic and finally practice and practice a lot

Do the "heavy-lifting" of actually studying Grammar, Punctuation, and Style. Next, learn the difference between Rewriting, Editing, and Revising. After that, study the Masters. There are solid reasons why schools insist on studying such writers as Steinbeck, Salinger, and Angelou. After that, study the writers in your chosen genre.

After all of that, ask yourself this simple question: "Am I willing to separate from friends and family, television and videogames, Youtube and Facebook, to tackle something as daunting as writing the best book my knowledge and skill will allow?" If you can honestly answer "yes", there is no foreseeable excuse for you to NOT write this book.

Try improving on your vocabs first. Then, try and form sentences that looks like it comes from the history of licteracture. Then, you can like...read a lot of books. (I recommend 'The Tempest' by Williams Shakespeare). Then, try and write some poems and then....you can work on your gra mmer if u had gotten confused with the shakespearian language. ( lol )

Thanks it! And please give me a thumbs up Thx buddies! :''D <
