People beginning their writing journey do not understand, it’s a continual process. Many of us started our journey thinking we are so far away from others on this writing journey. Writers are always improving. We are encouraged in the midst of our writings to stop and reread what has been written to verify it makes sense. Through revision and proofreading our projects we are able to grow as a writer.
In learning to write effectively we will need to learn different kinds of skills; which call for practice, time and effort. Practice in writing is a continual process. Practice also involves other people giving feedback. After receiving feedback we are able to revise our projects and increase our learning. Writers must also learn to asses their own writing.
“Writers never cease learning to write, never completely perfect their writing ability, as long as they encounter new unfamiliar life experiences that require or inspire writing.(Rose) “http://jwaluvengo.blog…learn.html?M=1
We need to overcome the fear of failures; failure is a lesson, an opportunity to get better. Without failures we cannot learn new things.
The most difficult thing in writing is coming up with a topic, and starting your first draft. Once you began the writing, things seems to get a little easier. We tend to stress ourselves quite a bit, by overthinking the project. Just start writing. You may not know much about writing, but write anyway.
There is a lot that goes into writing. There’s a lot of terms to learn and techniques, and rules to follow. Writing requires a lot of learning. You will never, ever stop learning about writing, which is great.
Writing excuses will change the way you think about writing. It’ll change the way you process the information you learn. One day you will seek to be a published author. The most important thing you’ll learn is that no matter how good of a writer you think you are, you can always improve more. You can always learn more. You will never stop learning.
“The truth is none of us really know what we are doing.” (Weilland) Screen writer William Goldman wrote in the essay anthology Tales from the Script:Nobody knows anything. If we knew what we were doing, every movie would be wonderful.”(Weilland) http://helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com
One might ask, if we are never going to conquer the art of writing, what’s the point? The reason why we continue to write is for learning purposes. The more we write, the more we will learn.
