Writing is neither art nor Science. It is commerce. It is something that requires your energy, mind and time. A writer is not born. Writer is a matter of rigorous practice and complete hard work. L.A. Hill suggests that good writing depends more upon hard labour and less upon inspiration. Some are found telling that writers are natural. Writing is ninety percent hard work and one percent inspiration as quoted by L.A. Hill. So the sooner you get into the habit of disciplining yourself to write, the better. The moment you think to start writing something, you should prepare yourself this way-
Keep a pen and a notebook with you when you are reading a newspaper, a magazine, a novel or anything of a sort. This is the first requirement of writing. Jot down new words , new phrases, new expressions.
See normal things in a different view. For example a smiling face may carry pain inside. Try to understand people around you. The nearest objects to write on are people around you. It may be your naughty niece, your jealous neighbour, your funny friends, your unwanted relatives, your boring bosses, your talkative colleagues, your servants, etc. Try to go so much deep of a character.
Read those pieces of news that centre around people. You can have story out somebody's joy as well as his/her tragedy.
Try to create your own style. Aping never pays. Try not to ape. You can thus never become a good writer.
Write at least a few words daily. And keep increasing the number gradually.
