So
you want to become a writer.
Perhaps
you write because it makes you feel alive. Perhaps you once read a book
that made you think, “It must feel amazing to write something like this.
Maybe I could be a writer.” Perhaps you feel like you
can’t not write.
So
then, how do you do it? How do you become a writer?
You Never Stop
Becoming a Writer
Several
years ago I became a writer. I’m not talking about the moment when I quit my
job to write full-time. That happened much later. No, I became a writer when I
started writing.
I
still remember making the decision to write and publish one article per
day on my blog. It wasn’t much, but this small habit was the beginning of
my life as a writer.
Since
then, I’ve written four books and more than a thousand articles. I’ve been
published in national magazines and became a bestselling author. But that one
decision changed my life.
No
one is born a writer. You must become a writer. In fact, you
never cease becoming, because you never stop learning how to write. Even now, I
am becoming a writer. And so are you.
3 Steps to
Becoming a Writer
Below are
the three best pieces of wisdom I’ve learned about how to become a writer.
