  • Becoming a writer depends on preparation.

    Instead of reading authors like King or Clancy for style and overall influence, you should read them as an overall template for becoming a writer but not becoming THAT kind of writer.

    My Advice: Write as much as possible so that you can develop your style and more importantly your own voice. The more you know about yourself as a writer, the smarter and more aware you will be.

    That's a tip from a smartass.

  • Love these videos with text. Sometimes sound on YouTube sucks and it is great to know what is actually being said.

  • @FunnyCrazii You should remember that everyone starts out like you. You should only compare yourself with yourself. How much have you improved is what you should ask. Lucky for you you already know what you want to do at a young age. If you're willing to work for it the hardest you'll get their. It takes time, the more your write and study the better you will get.

  • Today Internet gives you an opportunity to share your thoughts with global community. Your first steps in writing may be connected with publishing your short masterpieces to free article directories. It is better to write articles on the websites that have not been piled up with articles. You'll have a chance to promote yourself as pioneers on the new websites. I surfed through the Internet and found out a recently launched article directory - submit-an-article (dot) org

  • ehh, not a big fan of these tips. you shouldn't have to follow a rigid structure to be a writer, and as for writing to your audience, i agree more with the vonnegut school of thought. "Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia"
