Chapter 5 – Writing Skills

It’s a nice day for a good read!

Even as a writer, and having 30 years of professional writing experience, I still work toward improving my writing skills. I recommend writers look for ways to improve their skills.

Here are 6 ways that will help strengthen your writing skills:

1. Write every day. Whether an email, a letter to a friend, your journal, write every day.
2. Take a writing class or a writing work shop.
3. Research or re-revisit writing principles.
4. Find writing opportunities, such as writing for a church, community or an organization’s newsletter.
5. Practice writing. Assign yourself some prompts and write or notice what’s going on in the news and write the story.
6. Read. Read. Read.
