Here are my thoughts on writing and content today.

I often read posts here about how to be a better writer, and I have some thoughts that I thought useful to share as one writer to another.<br><br>1. **Your writing is your job.** If you want to be a writer, you need to make writing your job. I tell my family that I am working when I am writing, and they respect that.<br>2. **Set aside time for your writing.** Write at the same time every day. Maybe it is 12 Noon, or maybe it is 3 AM. It doesn’t matter but it needs to be at the same time every day.<br>3. **Write every day.** I don’t care if you have writer’s block. Just write. It doesn’t need to make sense, or make a narrative. Just…Write.<br>4. **Read what you write.** In my opinion, to be a writer, you need to read. Read anything and everything.<br>5. **If you need help ask.** We are all writers, we all want to help each other if you need constructive feedback on your writing, drop it here and we will do our best to help you.<br>6. **Be patient.** I think this is the hardest part of all. Your first draft is going to suck, and so is your second, third, fourth and so on. It takes a lot of work, and a lot of patience to get your writing to where you want it to be.<br><br>If you don’t like these tips, well I’m sorry. But I use these and they have worked for me.<br><br>Feel free to PM me for information on commissions, or questions.
