Do You Want to Be a Writer?

Here are some tips on becoming a writer.

{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

Most writers read whatever books they can find because they love to lose themselves in them. They like the sounds of language and the way that reading a good description can feel as satisfying as a baseball game or eating a banana split.

It's easy to forget a good idea if you do not write it down immediately. If you get in the habit of carrying a notebook with you everywhere you go, you can write down anything you want to remember. When you are talking to friends in the cafe or waiting for the bus, something might spark an idea for a character or scene in a story.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

Nearly all writers agree that writers must write. It doesn't matter if you feel like you have nothing to say; the important thing is that you write every single day. Sometimes, you need to give yourself permission to write things which won't be your best work.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

Do you have any friends who enjoy writing? Think about starting a writing group with other people who have similar interests. It helps to have the support of other writers. You will also receive valuable feedback, or suggestions, about how to make you work better.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#}

If you decide that you would like to send your work for publication, make sure to do your research. If you are sending your writing to a magazine, look through old ones. Does it seem like your writing fits in with the other stories or articles? That's the homework for you after writing.

A. Join or start a writing group

B. Read everything you can.

C. Write every day

D. Keep a notebook

E. Stay active

Mrs. Green,my5 ,changed all of that with a simple three﹣word phrase. One morning,she asked the class a question. Sitting at my desk silently,I6 her tips(哦唇) and raised my hand right away. She called on me in front of the blackboard. I took a deep breath and7 answered Mrs. Green's question.
