| HOW DABBLER WRITERS BECOME PROFESSIONALS |

They do it regularly: with self discipline and dedication.I may not be one of the best writers around, but I've got dedication and self discipline (which comes from motivation, because I love what I do - although it's very hard work).I try to have fun, whilst I try to earn a living.Top writers WRITE AND REWRITE - many times over, so the words flow better each time.They aim for perfection - very, very hard to achieve; although one can always improve.Every time I go through a manuscript, I change things (like repetitive words, incorrect grammar and punctuation) to try to get the words to flow better... but one has to draw a halt somewhere, otherwise my books would never get published. *HOW TO AVOID COMMON MISTAKESWhat do you think are the most common mistakes of new writers?Take a coffee break while you do this short assignment.My immediate thoughts: repetitive words incorrect grammar incorrect punctuation using too many wordsThe art of good writing, I believe lies in brevity, so omit all unnecessary words.It makes the sentence flow more rhythmically, more swiftly.I find reading a very cerebral (impressive word) activity, that demands a lot of concentration- so make a conscious effort to write in a style that's easy to read . Try to make your reading so easy on the eye, that a child can enjoy (and appreciate) your writing style.Now you have all the tools and the talent there should not be anything to stop you indulging in your creative pursuits. I hope this information may be helpful to you in your creative writing "If a man has talent and cannot use it, he has failed. If he hasa talent and uses only half of it, he has partly failed. If he has atalent and learns somehow to use the whole of it, he has gloriously succeeded and has a satisfaction and a triumph few men ever know." -- Thomas Wolfe"Everyone has a talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads." -- Erica Jong About the Author
