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.
