Ten Best Practices for Writers
How to become a more productive writer
Introduction
Anyone who happens to be reading this is a reader, and anyone who is reading can talk. And it’s no exaggeration to say:
If you can talk, you can write.
If you write emails, you can write. If you write tweets, you can write. Anyone reading this–or any other blog, article, or book about writing — is probably already a writer, or if not there yet, (meaning you don’t yet feel “qualified” to identify yourself as a writer), has the capacity to become a writer. A good writer.
To succeed in the modern world, you need to be an engaging, fluid, and confident writer — and the way to get there is to write. Experience with writing provides the foundation upon which you become a better -–and eventually an outstanding — writer. And obviously, you want to be a writer, or you wouldn’t have started wading through an article about writing.
Moreover, I’d make a guess that you want to be that outstanding kind of writer whose prose captures their readers’ attention from the very first line.
