Be a goddamn good writer

Become a voracious reader.

Write what you want to read. Read what you want to write. Observe people.

Practice. Every. Single. Day.

Always carry a notebook with you. A pocket notebook.

Think critically. Get your first draft out then edit it. Figure out what you don’t know.

Don’t compare your work with someone else’s. Start with short pieces. Write for fun and for passion. Stay confident beyond reality.

Write with feeling.

Break apart the sentences you can’t write. Find all the ways you can write them. Figure out which one works for you and stick to it. This is your writing style.

Be consistent. Write at least for one hour a day.

Gauge your emotions.

Do not be ashamed of how your imagination works. Understand you are more than your writing.

Love, R. ♡
