Writing thoughts: how to become a great writer :)

1. To write charming texts you need subjects. You can draw ideas from your experience or you can just imagine. Both methods are quite effective. For example Ernest Hemingway wrote “Green Hills of Africa” based on his personal experience which he got hunting in Africa. Jules Verne was a great dreamer, he didn’t travel, but he read books, imagined and improvised.

You need some sources of information, that’s for sure that. It can be your own biography, school lessons, books, Internet, canvases in museum or anything else. So you need some food for thoughts, starting points for your imagination.

2. A good way to learn some writers’ tricks is reading books and articles on writing (quite smart, heh). For example I’ve read “Hot Text! Web Writing that Works” by Jonathan and Lisa Price and have found it very useful (their site is useful too). It would be generously of you to share you materials on this subject in comments.

3. Here’s one more frequent advice: show your texts to your friends and relatives and ask for critics. There’re some sites focusing upon this. This method is often mentioned but is rarely used.

4. Of course you’re to practice a lot, to write everyday. Good practice is revising your works again and again. Even if you read your text the next day you wrote it, you’ll improve something for sure.
