Writing and Life
“Life isn’t a support system for art.
It’s the other way around.”
- Stephen King,
from his book ON WRITING: A Memoir of the Craft
According to bestselling author, Stephen King, there are a few things that you must do in order to become a good writer:
a) You must read, read, read.
b) You must write, write, write.
There are no shortcuts. No other way around.
Writing workshops and classes may help. Conferences and critique groups may help. But if these things don’t get you reading and writing - then they do you no good.
Read a lot and write a lot. That’s how you can become a writer.
