HOW TO BECOME A WRITER

Dear friend, everyone amongst us has a flair for writing a book. Each one of us, in our entire life time, does a little bit of story writing. But when someone chooses writing as career, then he finds this big question in front of him, how can I become a writer?
But you know something? You can become a writer by writing! Yes, it is pretty simple. If you do some little bit of research, you will find that there are no real secrets. You write on your own. You put words in a row and then it becomes a sentence. It then turns out to be a paragraph and then a whole page. If you sit tight over a few hours and try your hand at writing, you will come out with a positive result. Then you have to have sincere efforts over doing it again and again, because practice makes perfection. Unless you spoil a couple of pages, you won’t get the perfection in your writing style. Your style gets improved with practice and more practice.
But there is a problem. It is not very simple for everyone. Not at all that simple. Someone may have problem getting started. And if they do, then they may not keep the pace of writing. They lose the patience and enthusiasm. You can overcome this problem by maintaining your pace with strong determination. You need to be very determined to keep that pace because you start judging you inability to write due to failure attempts and this leads to understating your self-esteem. It becomes more difficult to start it over again. A man who wins is a man who thinks he can. So just do not let your attention wander as writing is a serious business.
Another way of keeping your determination intact, pace of writing, self-esteem is to declare yourself as a writer. And that will make all the difference. You write because you want to communicate something to the people or you just want to write. So you make sure that you speak out or tell people that you are a writer. Feel the sensation that these words create. Experience it. People would ask you about your writings etc. This will make you confident.
When you get along with your writing, just have a look on the place of writing, as it is and it should be a sacred place. Have your table and chair put in a separate room or part of a room. Get some flowers to put in a vase, lamp, dictionary, papers, stylebook, etc. That would make you comfortable and confident. If you have a computer and a printer, it is well and good as it would help you in writing. Make use of the Spell-check utility. Get yourself subscribed to any good-quality “Writing Journal”.
Try to learn from others. Make some friends who are good at writing. Listen to others. If you like some quotes or writing style, then note it down in your diary. It would help you in building/improving your writing style. Read good writings, as reading the best and good writings will play the part of a best teacher.
Finally, it is writing that would make you a writer. So keep writing. Writing is to write and write and write and write and write and write and write. Just don’t think of writing, simply write it down. Dreaming about the writing is not writing, writing the writing is writing. So make sure that you write everyday for a few hours. Make it a habit and at the appointed time. Sit tight for a few hours and you will come out with a writing as I have come up with this one for you. One fine day, you will be a writer who writes.
