Ernest Hemingway wrote some fine stories, but he also left us some advice in a series of quotes. Isn't it nice that someone kept track and saved so many? I wonder if we missed some real gems that no one thought to record.
The poster quote today is worth looking at. Check that last part '...a craft where no one ever becomes a master.' The learning should never stop. No matter how good our writing becomes, it can always be better.
Yes, it can be better but only if we work at making that happen. And how do we do that?
- by writing every day
- by doing writing exercises on a regular basis
- by reading voraciously about our craft
- by attending writing conferences and absorbing all that they offer
- by staying passionate about writing
- by working toward achieving our goals in our writing world
- by being patient
- by persevering at all times
- by paying close attention to the critiques from others
- by not giving up when our writing world is not looking so great
- 11. by being open-minded enough to accept suggestions
