Just writing a lot doesn't necessarily make you a better writer. You have to hear yourself as a writer, and the best way to do that is to read your writing out loud.

My father told us all the time: to become a good writer takes writing. Because the more you do it, the better you get at it. It's like bull-riding. You can't do it once, you know. You've got to practice it and practice it.
I often get asked how I write so much. As any writer knows, the answer is to write a lot more than you actually publish.
If you want to be a writer, don't worry so much about writing. Read as much as you can. Read as many different writers as you can. Soak up the styles.
Reading while I'm writing ideally inspires my competitive side. When I read great writers, I want to be a better writer.
Writing comes more easily if you have something to say.
Writers don't write writing, they write reading. When I was a kid, I read four or five books a week. And that is how I became a writer.
I do a lot of writing. People don't actually know how much writing really I do.
The hard part of writing at all is sitting your ass down in a chair and writing it. There's always something better to do, like I've got an interview, sharpening the pencils, trimming the roses. There's always something better to do. Going to a writer's club?
Writing is one of the few activities where quantity will inevitably make quality. The more you write, the better you're going to get at it.
The most important advice I can offer is that writing is a craft that you can learn by practicing. If you keep writing, you will improve.
