Treat
your writing like an athlete would treat his or her training--do it
every day. Whether you're working on writing an epic, award-winning
novel or you're just writing a blog post for the day, you need to
exercise your writing muscles regularly. I recommend setting aside a
specific time period each day to practice writing. Do it like it's
your job, even if it isn't and you're not being paid for it. I also
recommend reading a lot of other writers. You don't necessarily have
to read an entire book-- although that would be ideal--but you can
read a variety of writing styles in blog posts, articles, and even
free short fiction and non-fiction on various websites. (Some
people love to write and put their work online for others to enjoy
for free!) It is good practice to
sample a variety of writing styles, because it will help you
consolidate your own style.
