Write to be understood, speak to be heard, read to grow.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I write to understand as much as to be understood.
Write. Write. Write. Learn how to revise. No story is perfect straight from the keyboard.
Reading taught me how to write.
If you can talk, you can write.
The desire to write grows with writing.
Read. Read. Read. Read many genres. Read good writing. Read bad writing and figure out the difference. Learn the craft of writing.
Learn as much by writing as by reading.
The only successful way to write, and the only one I have found, is to be the character. Give up on trying to control them. Writers always talk about hearing voices. That's what they mean.
Keep your mouth shut and see what's happening around you. Don't finish people's sentences for them. Don't just hear what they say, but also how they behave while they're saying it. That was great training for writing.
Don't write so that you can be understood, write so that you can't be misunderstood.
