A SIMPLE RECIPE FOR "WRITING SUCCESS
* Write something every day. DISCIPLINE and DEDICATION is the key
to eventual writing success, I believe. Also practice makes "purrfect".
*Always remember, that getting published takes commitment and hard work.
PERSISTENCE and PATIENCE too are vital ingredients in the mix.
* Treat your writing as a career, as you would a "normal" job.
Throw yourself into it with "gay" abandon and reckless enthusiasm.
* Be open-minded and be open to criticism. As in...
"This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly.
It should be thrown away with great force."
- Dorothy Parker
HOWEVER, other people can give you ideas about your work and be
subjective about it. I believe that most people genuinely want to
help you get ahead, so don't take comments too
personally.
* Listen to your heart and write about what you love, your PASSIONS -
ideas that "move you" and which make you "tick ock".
* Learn everything you can about the writing and publishing "business".
Also learn about the internet as a tool/medium of online publishing.
* Join a writers' association and/or critique groups.
N.B:
Believe in yourself. This is THE vitally important ingredient in writing success.
You have something unique to share with the world in the form of your
individual life journey.
Your dreams can come true...in writing...and in life.
So,
WHY NOT FOLLOW THEM WITH ALL YOU'VE GOT?
