The great thing is, even though you are focussing on one subject,repparttar amount of writing you do will see small improvements in other areas as well. So you almost kill two birds with one stone.

3). Experiment with your writing. Each month, set yourself a challenge to do something different. May it’s to write a story in first person when you normally use third. Maybe it’s to try writing your story as a transcription of a tape rather than as an observer ofrepparttar 129243 story. Maybe it’s to try and write one hundred words as one sentence.

You will end up with interesting ideas, new areas that you need to look at and perhaps will discover a skill that you didn’t know you possessed.

4). Write short shorts. Nothing will test your writing more than trying to tell an entire story, with good characterisation and plot, in five hundred words. You learnrepparttar 129244 value of words,repparttar 129245 importance of right word atrepparttar 129246 right time. Even if you think you can’t possibly do it, try it. It gets you thinking about your writing in a way that writing a novel doesn’t, and you can’t help but see what your strengths and weaknesses are.

5). Get involved in critiquing other people’s work and having your own critiqued. It is amazing how you can pick up errors in other people’s work that you cannot see in your own. You’ll learn a great deal fromrepparttar 129247 process. And for your own work, a good idea is to ask for questions about a particular thing. For example: I’m not sure how clearrepparttar 129248 description is in this piece. Can you clearly see what is going on? Get your critiquers to focus onrepparttar 129249 skill you are focussing on and then you can receive their comments without being concerned that they are attacking you or your baby.

Take you time to improve your writing. Allow yourself to make mistakes and learn from them. No one’s going to come back at you in ten years and say “How can she be onrepparttar 129250 New York Times Bestsellers List? Look atrepparttar 129251 crap she wrote in 2003.” Except maybe you.
