For Writers
1. Start With a Seed - Some great books are simply a product of asking the question,
"What if…?" Starting a new work requires just a small seed to get you going.
Beginning without too much baggage can really help get the ball rolling.
4 Tips to Improve Your Writing Skills
2. Let the Story Tell Itself - Think of yourself as a medium, or a vehicle, for a story or
message that needs to be told. You may have some idea about where things are
going, but don't create too many constraints for yourself. Your concept will unfold if you
are ready to work hard on keeping up with what it has to say.
3. Use Realistic Characters and Dialogue - (Fiction) This is accomplished through
many different approaches. As a writer, you must learn to hone your powers of
observation and watch people and how they interact. Keen observation skills and
personal experience will help guide you through this aspect of fiction writing.
4. Write What You Know - (Fiction) This is a well-known mantra for fiction writers, yet
many fail to adhere to this simple principle of fiction writing. When you write about
things you know and experiences you've had, the writing is easier to read and comes
across as more authentic.
