Please! give me your 2 minutes.

When it comes to writing, most people teach you lots of different things about things — be consistent, have patience, read books, learn from others, work hard, and blah, blah, blah.

Ok, I agree with this, I do believe all these things matter. But this is not the point that helps you to become a better writer. These all are aspects and factors of writing, not that actually make you better at writing.

Yes, I said it.

Think about it.

You’re consistent, but not writing enough.

You have patience, but not writing enough.

You read books, but not writing anything.

Could you become a great writer with that?

100% not.

So What makes you a better writer?

Well, the answer is simple. Want to know?

Write a lot.

That’s it.

Write as much as you can. Writing is a game, the more practice you do the more chances of your winning will be.

Let alone consistency, patience, reading books, hard work, and learning. When you write a lot these things will come along the way.

Thus, If you want to become a great writer don’t treat writing as a hobby. You have to play the game, the writing game, the volume game, everything here is a game.

Examples —

  1. James Patterson — One of the best-selling authors of all time.
  • Written 160+ novels
  • 300+ million copies sold
  • 144+ #1 NYT best-sellers
  • Net worth = $800 million

2. My favorite Stephen king

  • Novels: 64
  • 350 million copies sold
  • 30+ #1 NYT best-sellers
  • Net worth = $500 million

3. Thinking about J.k Rowling?

FYI — She got rejected 12 times before she published Harry Potter.

The greatest success comes from failure.

Keep Writing.

I Hope This Helps
