An Idea

So helping people learn how to write is tricky. I mean, ultimately, writing is like everything else. You have to practice, do the basics over and over, things like that. And expanding your horizons, studying a variety of authors and styles of writing, and working on making yourself write in a variety of ways... that all helps a lot, too. But again, it comes down to doing.
So I think between my rambling poking at some particular points of writing, I think I'm going to start using this more for a bit of serial writing. I'll work on little story bits here and there and post up a chapter once or so a week. I mean, it's kind of ironic, but you can't learn how to write from reading a book. You have to do it. You have to practice it. And the best lesson I can give I've said again and again. Don't get discouraged. Don't make excuses, citing... lack of time, motivation, things like that. You can't let yourself get discouraged: you have to push and push, and keep yourself writing no matter what. You have to practice it: even if you're born with the innate talent to... weave words together well or a natural ability to spell or anything like that, if you can't endure, can't keep yourself writing through good and bad, and I really mean good as much as bad, you'll never reach the accomplishments you could.
I could go on and on about that but. I'll cut it short. You can always read my old posts, after all. So expect more stories. And enjoy.
