10 Fast Ways to Become a Better Writer
Despite how useful facts and lists are, stories are what resonate. We’re pulled into the grip of a helicopter crash, and most of us can’t look away when we see bright lights or hear loud noises. It’s the pull of the story and the unknown that captures our attention. Stories are memorable, and we can tell and re-tell them; they are, in fact, how we wire information into our brains.
Here are 10 ways to become a better writer:
- Start with a story
- Start with a question
- Play with the use of first, second, and third person narrative
- Talk it through
- Write the outcome you want first-by beginning with the ending
- Write about things you know
- Be incredibly specific
- After you’ve written your essay, go back and delete the fist and the last paragraph
- Mimic great writers you like
- Write less and link more
