Introduction

"Writing is not a profession, it is a way of life." ~Unknown

For some people, writing is an incredibly painful process, one that some would do anything to avoid. Essays and research papers make you want to run for your life. Personally, I'm not a big fan of required writing, either, but as an aspiring writer, it's not a hard task, just a tedious one.

This blog will not help with that sort of thing, if you're looking for it. This blog is for creative writing, to help along the process that can sometimes be sluggishly slow, which is something I both understand and can relate to, since I've been there who knows how many times.

I will not fixate on the how-tos of grammar, for I'm hoping that people who want to get anything out of this blog will already be proficient in using half-colons and knowing how to correctly write with quotation marks.

First thing you should know about becoming a good writer is that it takes practice. Lots of it. You can never write too much, because that in and of itself is a fallacy. The best writers are also the people who read the most. Know this: writing is not for everyone. It requires the ability to stick with it, no matter how irritating, lengthy, and downright infuriating the process may be.

Also here is the best nugget of advice I can give you: when in doubt, write! Stop whining, and just write. Nobody becomes better at something by complaining about it. Just like in everything else in life, the only way to get better at something is to practice it often.

Make sure you're willing to dedicate the time to it, because if you just plan on half-assing it, rest be assured, you won't go anywhere fast.
