Want to Become a Better Writer? Learn From These 8 Great Writers!
My favorite writers and authors
Stephen King once famously said:
If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: Read a lot and write a lot.
So true, right?
If you look at my old Medium stories you would laugh at me. Why? Let alone writing well, I didn’t even know how to put the right words into the right place. I was a total disaster.
So how did I improve my writing? I wrote a lot.
When I started my online writing journey in 2022, all I did was just write, write, write, and write. Because I knew I was terrible at writing and needed to fix it — and the only thing that could fix it was — writing a lot.
After a few months of writing, I realized I was absolutely missing one more component to becoming a better writer: reading a lot.
As I was obsessed with writing, I realized that I should also buy books. So guess what, I started buying best-selling books, not because the books are best-selling but because they’re best-selling so they must be well written.
