Writing Better
What Works and What Doesn't
Part 3
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2 3

You have to read the GOOD writers, of course. Read the hard stuff: Dostoevsky, Faulkner, Shakespeare, Dante. This sort of reading will benefit you in many ways.

Then write. A writer writes! Like any other skill, you have to do it to learn it. You can read about it, and memorize rules, and attend seminars, and go to workshops (and by all means read Strunk and White's "Elements of Style", a classic that's now in its fourth edition) but you must not stop there. You must start writing.

One of the best ways to direct the actual writing process is to work with a writing coach. You won't be able to judge your own writing appropriately at first.

What Doesn't Work

What will NOT work is learning some skills you are not able to use because your emotions are interfering, or you don't use because you never sit down and apply them.

You must actually start writing. Like learning a language, it's practicing it that makes you fluent.

Meta

A meta way to improve your writing is to develop your Emotional Intelligence. It teaches you how to manage the emotions which are throwing obstacles in your path to learning writing. It has the added value of helping you to learn in general, not just writing.

It's about getting the emotions out of the way that are hampering you from learning. We all suffer from this to one degree or another. We all had a teacher at some point who was harsh or critical, or a circumstance where we weren't able to learn it fast enough. Maybe we were rushed, and fell flat on our face in public, or were embarrassed. Maybe we had a parent who said, "Marsha will never be an artist," or "Freddie can't do this or that." Getting rid of the memory of these experiences is managing your emotions, and part of Emotional Intelligence as well.

Write On!

One of the wonderful things to me about the Internet is the opportunity it gives all of us to "tell our story."

Get in there and write, whether you do it for publication, for money, for fun, or to promote your products and services. You have things to say that others need to hear!

Writing things out also brings clarity to your thinking process. Studies show that writing things down improves your efficiency, and even is good for your mental health.

Write on!
