Mark Twain would be the best person to draw from when it comes to writing, be it a story or a thought or whatever. He had said that “Writing is easy. All you have to do is cross out the wrong words.” And most aspiring writers place the excuse of inability to publish for their lack of enthusiasm to write. There is no dearth of publishers today and given the internet and blog rolls, the publishing world has just turned open source.

The pen tip

The writing process is what needs to be honed and practiced, like any other creative skill process, to get readers interested in the content. The art of writing, like most other such talents, does come naturally to a person to quite an extent. It, however, needs to be polished and shined, which requires some work and effort. There are some tips that could be followed to help this honing process. Sharpening the tip of the pen, we could say, to write clearer and better.

Starting small

John Grisham was a very busy lawyer as a career man and started to write even while he pursued his law practice. He started with writing just one page of the story that ran in his mind. The recommendation, therefore, is to write fewer amounts per day and not try a voluminous content to be put to paper. Writing small content ensures that the story line or narrative follows a logical sequence. In the case of breaking the content into chapters and subsections, the same would be easy to adhere to if writing in short bursts daily.

Follow a routine

Writing is an art of putting down the mind of the author onto paper. Following a fixed daily routine means training the mind itself into that working time. A writer must, therefore, be disciplined and have a set time for the writing work. Setting deadlines for your own self and sticking to it is something a writer would need to practice. In this aspect, even the place where the author sits to do the writing work is important, and should as much as possible be the same spot daily.

Motivation

This can be listed as one of the major factors that make or break a good writer and writing work. Failures are bound to happen in the course of writing. Even well established and famed authors have faced rejection of their work by publishers or readers, even after they had attained name and fame in the literary world. That did not daunt them or have any effect on their next writing. It is best if a new writer faces failure at the very first written creation. There would sure be a lesson to learn in that failure. It is for the writer to determine the reason and apply the lesson for their next writing work.

The bottom line to turn into a good writer is to “bash on regardless” and also check out affordablepapers.com for further experience.
