Words On A Page
June 16th 2008 03:56
Writing: the art of putting COHERENT words on a page... and so much more.
Just because you can perform the act of writing words coherently doesn't make you a true writer. A true writer takes talent and hard work. To be a true writer you have to be determined to write, to want to write, to love writing.
Not just to be able to write a bunch of sentences and put them together so they make sense. Sorry. The rules of writing are simple....
1-Write a lot
2-Read a lot
3-If at first you don't succeed, try, try again
In other words 1-write AND FINISH STUFF, 2-READ AND FINISH BOOKS and 3-rewrite and try many publishers and agents if it's good enough.
I don't have much else to say tonight 'cause I'm sick but please don't say you're a writer... if writing isn't your passion.
