Here's something I got from the Copyblogger. If nothing else, you must at least visit this blog for its not only interesting articles but also the humour.
"10 Steps to Becoming A Better Writer by Brian Clark
1. Write.
2. Write more.
3. Write even more.
4. Write even more than that.
5. Write when you don’t want to.
6. Write when you do.
7. Write when you have something to say.
8. Write when you don’t.
9. Write every day.
10. Keep writing. "
I'll bet if there was an 11th step it would be:
"11. Keep on writing, come what may"...*wink*
Nevertheless, I can not and will not dispute the veracity of the above because it is the only way to becoming a better writer. And it is with much contrition I confess that I have not been practicing the above (if one were to just take my blog as any indication).
